2020 has been tough*.
Keeping in touch with friends and family can be stressful enough on a normal year. Now throw in a global pandemic and seeing your loved ones in person becomes near impossible.
Fortunately, Zoom – which let’s face it, really did well throughout the whole lockdown thing – has decided to drop its 40-minute time limit on calls today (and today only).
The move comes as the United States celebrates Thanksgiving.
“As a thank you to our customers, we will be lifting the 40-minute limit for all meetings globally from midnight ET on Nov 26. Through 6am ET. On Nov. 27 so your family gatherings don’t get cut short,” it said via Twitter.
For those of us on Gulf Standard Time – the no limit calls began two hours ago (9:00 am) and will last 9:00 pm tomorrow.
Zoom users won’t have to do anything either. Just log-in and connect to a session and that pesky 40-minute time reminder won’t show up.
*understatement of the year.
