Zoom Removes 40-minute Limit Yet Again, Check Details of the Dates for Unlimited Meetings

COVID-19 has changed how we live, work, and celebrate in 2020, and like everything else this year, the holiday season doesn’t look the same. As a token of appreciation to the users during an extraordinary time, Zoom is removing the 40-minute limit on free accounts for all meetings globally for several upcoming special occasions. Previously, the company had announced a similar initiative around Thanksgiving.

“Whether coming together on the final day of Hanukkah, celebrating Christmas, ringing in the New Year, or marking the last days of Kwanzaa, those connecting with friends and family won’t get cut short,” says a statement from the company.

What Should Users do to Get Unlimited Zoom Meetings?

Users don’t need to do anything to remove the limit — it will be automatically lifted during these designated times. Here are a few actions users can take to ensure a wonderful virtual get-together with loved ones, according to the company:

• Protect sessions from uninvited guests by requiring a meeting passcode to join and enabling Waiting Rooms – and don’t share your meeting IDs on social media or other public forums
• Learn how to get started on Zoom with basic tips and answers to frequently asked questions
• Download festive virtual backgrounds and have fun with video filters!

Zoom has also advised users to update the platform to ensure access to all the latest product and security features, or sign up for a free account to schedule and host meetings.
