Channel invite limits before launch

Question

Hi, I have a question regarding channel invitation limits.

From what I understand:

Each app can configure up to 5 channels for URL-based invites.

Each channel can contain up to 200 users.

If that’s correct, does that mean the maximum number of users we can invite to private channels is 1000 users total (5 × 200)?

We’re planning to run tests before launch and may need to invite more than 1000 users.

Is there any way to:

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Your understanding is basically correct:

So yes, maybe you can do like 1000 users total for private channel invites pre-launch.

There’s no "your-own" way to increase channel size or add more channels beyond the limit

But! there's options if you need more testers:

Use multiple apps/app IDs (common workaround for large tests)
Move to public distribution when possible
Contact Meta developer support to request an exception (not guaranteed and honestly I haven't seen that work)

For large-scale testing, most teams don’t rely solely on channels.
