SUMMARY
You are limited to 10 audience members in an Online Presentation Broadcast from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. This is due in part to the restrictions set in the End-User License Agreement (EULA).



MORE INFORMATION
The Windows NT 4.0 Workstation licensing agreement restricts the number of computers that can be connected to your workstation at one time. The limit of 10 audience members is only available if you have no other computers connected to yours at the same time.

The following section of the EULA indicates the maximum number of connections:

Systems Software. You may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single computer. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be used by more than two (2) processors at any one time on the single computer running the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. You may install the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single computer ("Workstation Computer") for use as interactive workstation software, but not as server software. However, you may permit a maximum of ten (10) computers to connect to the Workstation Computer to access and use services of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, such as file and print services and peer web services. The ten connection maximum includes any indirect connections made through software or hardware which pools or aggregates connections.

Therefore, each computer connected to your workstation that is not involved in the Presentation Broadcast will reduce the number of audience members that can join.
