Google Meet will now Impose a 60-minute limit on group video calls for free users. When Google Meet was made available to all users last year instead of just Enterprise or Education customers than it had no time limit on calls for any number of participants.
Google said that it would introduce a 60-minute limit to group video calls, but the deadline was extend multiple times owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
The time limit is still only for calls with three or more participants and one-on-one video calls remain free of this restriction.
Google Workspace users will now have to upgrade to a paid account to host unlimited group video calls with three or more participants.
Google Meet has updated its guidelines that mention that free Gmail users can now host a group call with three or more participants for only 60 minutes.
Change in guidelines for Google Meet doesn’t affect users on one-on-one calls but only users on group calls.
When Google Meet became available for all users in April 2020 then Google announce that it will limit meeting times to 60 minutes from September 2020.
Google then only extended the deadline for unlimited free calls to March and finally the latest deadline was announce to be 30th June 2021.
The Google Meet Help also mentions an upgrade for users if they wish to participate in unlimited group calls.
