Zoom Lifting Its 40-Minute Limit on Thanksgiving Day
In households across the suburbs, Thanksgiving will look a bit different than usual. Many people are opting to play it safe rather than get together with large groups of family, but that doesn’t mean you can’t catch up with those second cousins you only see on holidays!
If you are a fan of the Zoom meeting platform, you will be able to hop on it for as long as you’d like on Thanksgiving instead of cutting it at the usual 40 minute mark.
As a thank you to our customers, we will be lifting the 40-minute limit for all meetings globally from midnight ET on Nov. 26 through 6 a.m. ET on Nov. 27 so your family gatherings don’t get cut short. ❤️🏡 #ZoomTogether pic.twitter.com/aubsH0tfxG

How gracious of them! Oh my goodness!!
Do you sense my sarcasm? Good.
Honestly, there are at least a half dozen other video chat platforms that DON’T EVER have time restrictions that I feel could be better for your virtual holiday parties.
Here at the radio stations, we are fond of Google Hangouts. You cna also just use Facebook’s new Rooms feature.
Today, we shared a new way to feel directly connected with someone over video — and announced new product updates across @messenger @facebookapp @instagram @whatsapp @facebookgaming and @portalfacebook (🧵) pic.twitter.com/EeVoJMysC6
