Hi , completely new to using zoom or any similar product .
I have only just signed in and will need zoom during a meeting lasting approximately 90 minutes .
I will probably only need to use it once or twice .
Which zoom package is best for me ?

Hi @Elizabeth Rushton,

Thank you for joining Zoom community! We’re glad to have you here. To answer your query, yes—Zoom paid plans can be billed either monthly or yearly. You do not have to commit to a year if you don’t want to.

To host a 90‑minute meeting, you’ll need to upgrade from Basic (free) to a paid plan, then choose monthly billing if you only need it a couple of times. Details on plans and upgrading are here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063375

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Several of the Zoom plans will allow this, but be VERY careful and check your storage capacity because Zoom will start charging you egregious amounts if you go 1KB over the limit. My plan cost DOUBLED one month as soon as I went over my limit. They have acknowledged to me that they have made it IMPOSSIBLE to delete multiple recordings at the same time, so you have to go through one by one to delete them. Good luck!
