How to calculate video streams for VDI clients in Zoom
Zoom VDI client users can select a maximum of 25 or 49 participants per screen to be displayed in the gallery view in the Zoom VDI client video settings. If users are using a computer that can view additional video streams, they will be enabled for the 49 participant limit option as long as they are using one of those computers.
Requirements for changing meeting view settings
In gallery view, you can display up to 49 thumbnails on a single page:
- Zoom Meeting and the VDI plugin must be version 5.9.6 or later to join a Zoom meeting
- There is a setting in the desktop client video settings that limits the number of participants shown per screen in the gallery view to 49 participants.
Note: Your computer cannot use this option if it does not meet the CPU requirements. - For a single monitor, the following processors are supported:
- Intel i5
- 4 cores or higher
- 4th generation or higher
- Intel i7, i9, Xeon
- Intel Atom
- Other Intel processors
- 6 cores or higher
- 3.0GHz or higher
- AMD Ryzen 5 series

How to calculate the number of video streams based on hardware
Two cores and frequency < 2G
3*3 or 9 video streams
AMD 2 cores and the CPU name has “x-2”, for example: “GX-217”
3*2 or 6 video streams
Two cores and frequency >= 2G. (Intel i5/i7 < 2G also work)
5*5 or 25 video streams
Four cores and more
5*5 or 25 video streams
