Zoom announced that it is removing the 40-minute time limit
for its free accounts on all meetings around the world for the holiday season.
This means that all holidays, in addition to Christmas, that
fall in late December or early January will be covered by this special offer by
Zoom. "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," said Zoom.
With the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, people around
the globe have once again been forced to stay at home and plan virtual
gatherings. Zoom’s video calling became a majorly significant tool for people
ever since the pandemic arrived, so it makes sense why the company has decided
to cut short its usual video calling time limit for free subscribers during
such a time.
