Following the recent introduction of a two-participant time limits, this workaround applies to all calls made via the free tier: If you want your meetings to last longer, you don’t necessarily have to use another app. More expensive plans remove the limit altogether, and it’s worth noting that only the host needs to subscribe. They start at $14.99/£11.99 per month or $149.90/£119.99 per year, with the cheapest subscription extending the time limit to 30 hours for up to 100 people. This is probably the most frustrating thing about Zoom, but it acts as an incentive for people to pay for a subscription. That’s the same restriction that has always applied for anywhere between three and 100 participants. Once that mark has been reached, everyone will be kicked out of the call. But in May 2022, the company announced it would now be limited to 40 minutes. Zoom’s free tier used to allow two participants to stay in a meeting for up to 24 hours.
