I'm opening a meeting using a host key.  Host key belongs to a zoom pro user;  I have zoom basic.  Will meeting cut off after 40 minutes (following my basic plan), or will it follow the pro account terms & last more than 40 minutes?  Thanks so much!

Hey there! If the meeting is pre-scheduled by the Zoom Pro User then it will mirror their plan and you will not be capped to 40 minutes. When you fire up this meeting, open the Participants widget > Click on Claim Host and enter the Host Key. At this point you will be recognized as the host and you can carry on with your meeting.
