Frequently Asked Questions
What are Zoom Free limitations?
Zoom Free allows unlimited 1:1 meetings but limits group meetings to 40 minutes. You also lose cloud recording and advanced admin features.
Can I keep my Zoom recordings after cancelling?
Cloud recordings remain accessible for a limited time. Download them before your subscription ends. Local recordings on your computer are unaffected.
Is Google Meet a good Zoom alternative?
Google Meet is excellent for Google Workspace users, offering 60-minute free meetings. It's simpler than Zoom but lacks some advanced features.
Does Zoom offer an annual discount?
Yes, paying annually saves approximately 15-20% compared to the monthly plan.
Can I downgrade from Zoom Business to Pro?
Yes, you can downgrade your plan at the end of your billing cycle through the billing settings page.
