That is going to depend on which regulatory domain you are in.  Which country are you in?

This is a long and involved answer that has been asked many times before.  Personally for an office environment I like to use a ratio of 25 users per AP.  I pretty much never go over 50 users per AP.  This answer is the same for pretty much all APs and vendors.  It is not Meraki MR specific advice.

 

If you want to give the users a terrible experience you can load thenm up to the maximum - which is 128 users per AP.

 

This article talks about approximating the maximum number of users based on your performance expectations.  @CameronMoody this article could do with a bit of new lipstick.

Personally I would incorporate some of the information from @NolanHerring who has written about this many times.

@PhilipDAthif you want to make the experience really terrible, I'm sure you can put 128 clients on each radio, i.e. 128 on 2.4GHz and 128 on 5GHz, or am I reading it wrong?

 

In an entertainment environment we follow guidelines of 30 client per radio for general web browsing etc. and 10 clients per radio for VoIP traffic (internal phones and radios).  This usually provides a decent quality whereas when we have nearer to 60 clients on a radio it commonly leads to a poor user experience.
