Once upgraded, your meetings can last up to 30 hours.\nSchedule or Reuse Meetings – Use the same meeting link, but now your time limit is gone as long as you’re on a paid plan.\nAuto-Upgrade Prompt (Optional) – If you're in a meeting close to 40 minutes, Zoom may offer a one-time upgrade prompt — you can accept and extend time.\nUse Break + Rejoin Trick (Free Plan) – If you’re on free plan, when time ends, rejoin the same meeting link or create a new one and share it quickly.\nEnable Waiting Room or Passcode – If using the rejoin method, use waiting rooms or passcodes for security when participants come back in.\nCheck Time During Call – Always keep an eye on time by checking the meeting timer at the top-left of the screen to manage accordingly."]}
