Zoom 40 minute meeting limit

Hello

Last year, Zoom put a 40 minute limit on free meetings.

Is it still necessary to wait for 10 minutes before starting another meeting?

Thanks

Like most, I used it during the pandemic, but not any more. (Does anyone still use it?) While waiting, you could have called a friend and find out when you get cut off.

I still use it sometimes for work but haven't done for a while. But when I do, it needs to be for more than 40 minutes.

I'm going to try Microsoft Teams instead.

I use MS Teams for work. I believe there's a free version. You don't need a subscription to use Teams for home. The free version of Teams for home gives you: Free 1:1 calls between Teams users for up to 30 hours.

Thank you. I've switched to MS Teams because it's free and called my Zoom subscription.

I prefer Zoom because the image is clearer and you can freeze the screen which you can't do on MS Teams but I don't use Zoom enough to justify the monthly subscription fee.
