# Invite team members

Managing seats and member roles in your chat instance is crucial for effective operation and control.

## Available Seats in a Chat Instance

By default, each chat instance comes with 5 available seats. The instance owner, who is the creator of the chat instance, automatically occupies one seat. This leaves a certain number of additional seats that the owner can utilize to invite other members.

## Invite Members

To invite new members, follow these steps:

* Under the User Management section, go to **Users** page
* Click **Invite users**
* Enter the **user email** you want to add. One email per line
* Click **Invite users.**

If your requirement exceeds the default number of seats provided in your plan, you can purchase additional seats by:

1. Navigate **Billing page**
2. Click **'Update Plan/Add-on'** button
3. Choose the number of seats you want to buy. One email added will be counted as 1 seat.
