Call Queue and Ring Group Member Limit in 8x8 Admin Console

Updated: 12/09/2024

Question

Is there a limit on the number of members that can be added to a Call Queue or Ring Group?

Applies To

  • RIng Groups
  • Call Queues
  • Admin Console

Answer

There are a few exceptions to this answer (see Planning Exceptions). 
By default, the current limit for the maximum number of members in a 8x8 Work Call Queue is 20, and for a Ring Group is 32.

Planning Exceptions

Total member count in each group is dependent on maximum call volume per day in a few categories.
  1. Total calls per day overall on PBX (includes both in and outbound calls).
  2. Totals Ring Group calls per day (includes both in and outbound calls).
  3. Total Call Queue calls per day (includes both in and outbound calls).
  4. Total Ring Group calls per hour (includes both in and outbound calls).
  5. Total Call Queue calls per hour (includes both in and outbound calls).
It is best practice to discuss when expanding beyond defaults on Ring Groups, Call Queues, Auto Attendants, Hot Desk, and Busy Lamp Field additions to any PBX with your 8x8 Account Manager.
