I just created a zoom account and created a meeting.  Not realizing I need more than 40 min, I just purchased the basic plan for $ 14.99/month. My question is....Can I leave the original meeting or do I need to schedule a new one so I can have longer than 40 min in that meeting.  Thanks.

Hello @dlkiel,

 

Changes to meeting licenses require you to start a new meetings.  If you have a meeting progress the system recognizes that you were a free/basic user when the meeting started, and thus will have a time limit.  

 

Now that you are a licenses Pro users, all future meetings you start will not have the 40 minute time limit.
