I have an issue by setting up a meeting via Outlook.
When I set up a meeting with only 1 other participant the meeting is limited to 40 minutes!
I thought a 1: 1 meeting has no limits?
Am I wrong or did the rules changed?
What do I have to do different to have a timewise unlimited 1:1 meeting?
Thank you for your help

Hi @Kaschi007 ,
Starting May 2, 2022, Zoom is changing the meeting duration limit for 1:1 meetings hosted by Basic users on Free and Free (Credit Card Verified) accounts to 40 minutes. This change creates a uniform 40-minute meeting duration limit for all meetings hosted by Basic users on Free and Free (Credit Card Verified) accounts, including group meetings and one-on-one meetings.
There is no limit to how many meetings a Basic user can host; however, if you prefer to avoid a meeting timeout at 40 minutes, upgrade to a Pro account to remove the 40-minute limit from all future meetings.

If they are going to make such a change they should have updated their documentation! It STILL says that meetings with more than 2 people timeout after 40 minutes but nothing about meetings with just 2 people.
