Zoom as a participant

The zoom meeting  I was invited to is over 2 hours and has over 200 participants. Do I need a Pro or Free account to attend the full meeting?

My questions are:

1. If I am on a free account will I be timed out at 40 minutes?

2. If I have a Pro account will I still be able to attend the meeting with over 200 participants?

To be clear, I will be an attendee. I did not create this meeting

Thanks

So I won't have a time-out on a free account at 40 minutes?

As long as you are a participant (not the Host), even on a Free account you will not be limited to 40 minutes.
