Is There a Time Limit on Zoom Free for Students?
There are limits to how many participants you can have in a meeting (one hundred participants). There is also a limit on how long you can have an appointment (40 minutes). You can always upgrade to one of the Zoom paid plans if you need a more extended meeting.
Will Zoom Remove Its Time Limit Policy?
Zoom isn't likely to remove its time limit policy because it wants people to pay for a PRO subscription. If you have a meeting that will go over 40 minutes, you'll have to find other ways to make it work.
Difference Between Zoom Basic and Pro?
Zoom Basic allows an unlimited number of group meetings. A free Zoom account has a time limit of 40 minutes for each session. You can upgrade to Zoom Pro if you need to have group meetings that last longer than 40 minutes. With Zoom Pro, you get unlimited meeting time. There are also other features like cloud recording and streaming to social media.
Final Thoughts
Now you have two choices for your Zoom meetings:
1. Keep starting the session over if it goes over 40 minutes.
2. Purchase a Pro Zoom subscription.
