# What Is A Seat?

A seat in Zendo is **any internal user that operates the workspace**. From Agents to Owners.
You can learn about the different Roles & Permissions [here](https://help.getzendo.io/en/article/roles-and-permissions-1xeexu8/).

Clients **do not count** as seats. You can have unlimited clients no matter the plan you're on.

# What Is A Watcher?

A Watcher is a passive role that can be used for overseeing assigned Requests.

A Watcher is **not a seat** in Zendo.

* Users on the Essential plan do not have any Watchers available.
* Users on the Core, Pro and Max plan get double the amount of Watchers per each seat added,

# How To Check How Many Seats I Have?

You can check how many seats you have currently active by going to **Client portal > InternalTeam**, under *Settings & Customization* on the left-hand side panel, and checking the *Internal users* label or by looking directly at the table listing your team members added to Zendo.

The *Internal users* label, visible next to the Team header in **Client portal** >  **Internal Team** **shows how many seats you're currently using**.
The *Watchers* label, visible next to the *Internal users* label shows how many Watchers you're currently using.

||| Users on the free forever Essential plan will not see the *Watchers* label since Watchers are not available on the free plan.

Alternatively, you can also go to **Plan & Usage**, under *Settings* to check how many active seats you have on your workspace.
