Zoom, the must-have application of the year 2020, is giving out its holiday gifts early this year. As of Dec 23, the video conferencing platform has decided to lift the 40-minute limit for free calls during the holiday season.
"Covid-19 has changed how we live, work, and celebrate in 2020, and like everything else this year, the holiday season doesn't look the same," Zoom notes on its blog. The US-based application, which saw an explosion in sales numbers this year, is once again demonstrating tts ability to adapt to the health crisis. While London is under strict lockdown and the holiday season in many parts of Canada will have to be spent in small groups, the videoconferencing platform has announced that it is easing the restrictions on free accounts. A good way to attract even more members by offering an alternative to encourage people to stay home.
