Now that everyone is trapped at home due to a coronavirus health problem, video calling systems are more popular than ever. This is the case, for example, for Zoom, which has 200 million users per day.
Software This edition allows us to accomplish at home the closest thing to face-to-face meetings we do in the office. Although its free features are enough for most, maybe the 40 minute limit is easy.
How long does it take for free video calls?
The free Zoom account gives you the opportunity to hold virtual meetings with up to 100 participants for up to 40 minutes. Once that limit is reached, the video call will automatically shut down and it's very frustrating.
In fact, it can be very frustrating that many people consider going to subscriptions a minimum of € 13.99, because in this case the limit is 24 hours. Keep in mind, however, that only the custodian will need that registration.
How to exceed the Zoom & # 39; s 40 minute limit?
Now don't rush. There is a trick that will allow you to exceed the 40 minute limit of free Zoom accounts without paying anything. To do this, you will need to set up the meeting, instead of starting it directly.
In the configuration panel, you should select the & # 39; Other Calendars & # 39; under the & # 39; Calendar & # 39; section. Click & # 39; Edit & # 39; and all information about the meeting will appear, including the ID you need to share with other participants.
When the nearest assembly approaches those 40 seconds, you will see a decrease. The host will have to be careful about choosing to leave the meeting (especially not the one that ends the meeting for everyone!).
After that everyone will be required to join the meeting again with the first link and will have 40 minutes. Obviously, it is not a perfect solution and certainly not suitable for large companies. However, it can be a good alternative.
Obviously, you can also choose another app to make video conferencing online.
