Each channel will allow either one incoming or one outgoing call. Skype Connect supports up to 300 simultaneous calling channels per SIP Profile, enabling up to 300 concurrent conversations.
If you're not sure of how many channels you think that you may need, click How many channels do I need? to display guidelines on the suggested number of channels, based on number of employees.
