Zoom only allows 40mins unless you pay for it. Pointless exercise for me.

Hi Drakmar84,

I just checked this and I cannot believe it is true, what a shame.

Well wishes.

Hi @Former-Member @CousCous as long as the host of the meeting has a Zoom paid membership then the 40 minute limit does not apply to attendees, regardless of whether they have a free account. 

 

If someone wanted to host a zoom meeting from an unpaid account then yes it would annoyingly end at 40 minutes, but as the host will be using a paid account, this should not be an issue for any attendees. 

 

Hope this helps!
