You need to purchase enough licenses to cover all users who will benefit from the service. Typically, this includes all users within an organization. The service is activated across the entire video platform by default. We monitor usage to ensure compliance but do not automatically limit service or performance unless necessary. If excessive usage is identified, you will be advised to verify that your license count is adequate.
