Happy Thanksgiving, from the entire Zoom family! While we are a U.S.-based company, we are truly thankful for all of our users around the world, and we are especially grateful this Thanksgiving during an extraordinarily challenging year. We wanted to show our appreciation for all Zoomers and help bring families together this holiday season, wherever you may be.

As a thank you to our customers, we will be lifting the 40-minute limit on free Zoom accounts for all meetings globally from midnight ET on Thursday, Nov. 26, through 6 a.m. ET Friday, Nov. 27, so your family gatherings don’t get cut short. 

There’s nothing you need to do. The minutes cap will be automatically lifted. Simply start a Zoom meeting and enjoy unlimited meetings for the duration of the Thanksgiving holiday.

We invite you to get into the holiday spirit by downloading a fall-themed virtual background on our website. Just search “autumn.”

And to help protect your session from uninvited guests, be sure your meeting passcodes are turned on and Waiting Rooms are enabled. If you have questions, please see our Knowledge Base article on the minute cap lift.
