zoom one basic plus

I stumbled on this as I need to know how to extend my first meeting.  I downgraded to "Zoom Basic Plus Beta" today after canceling my (formerly) Pro single account user license. 

I followed Ray_Harwood's directions. On the User> Edit> screen I am the only user. The User Type radio button for my name is checked for Basic. The radio buttons for Licensed and On Premise are both greyed out. There is another line below the radio buttons that reads, "Zoom Workplace Basic Plus" and it has a box with a checkmark inside. 

This leads me to believe that Zoom has added the extra box to avoid the confusion over Basic and Licensed.

I find it strange that neither a Google search nor a Zoom site search show any results for "Zoom Basic Plus Beta" except for posts in this forum. Looking at the history of forum posts started in Sep 2023 I would have thought that Zoom would have moved past the "beta phase" and made Basic Plus an official plan with information and instructions on use. 

I can't speak to how to activate the extension. My first meeting under this beta plan is 4 days away. I use Zoom's client/software (latest update) on my Mac (not a browser) so I am hoping that the "extend meeting" button is easy to locate in the Zoom client window. 

Since it's a two person meeting with no waiting room and the other person tends to join early, I am also hoping the 40 minute meeting extension does not begin until I enter the meeting. Under my former license meetings could not "start" until I entered so hoping that hold true for this Basic Plus Beta plan. 

I am thrilled to see Zoom expand their plans. I host about 3-7 meetings a year and this year only 2 of them lasted over 80 minutes.  I'd very much like to see a plan that offers 1-2 meetings with unlimited minutes per month. That would better address the needs of people like me, who only Zoom several times a year amd whose meetings average about 45 minutes with an occasional 90 minute or longer meeting.

I'm really really disappointed by Zoom! 1st I've already paid the "pro" license till the end of october but since I've downgraded to "Basic Pro" (not to forget at the end of the month) it has cut my meetings down to 40 min already! Haven't seen any button to "extend" the meeting but anyway I use it for yoga classes I'm not staring at the monitor all the time... that's too bad for zoom!
