The video conferencing app became quite popular amid the pandemic and continued to offer users a number of innovative ways to participate in meetings and video calls.

Many of Zoom’s competitors have similar restrictions on online meetings. These include Google Meet with a 60 minute limit and Cisco Webex has a 50 minute limit.

These providers charge more for business-level plans that remove the cap and increase the number of participants allowed.
