American tech giant Google has brought an end to its unlimited group video calls in Meet for free Gmail accounts. Now users with free accounts logging on to the service will have group calls capped at an hour rather than the previous 24-hour meeting duration.
Google Meet calls with three or more participants, and group video conference basically is now limited to 60 minutes for free users with personal Gmail accounts, an ANI report stated.
Because of the pandemic, Google had lifted this cap back in September 2020 but has now decided to reinstate it.
Over the past year, free Google Meet users with personal accounts have been able to take advantage of group calls on the platform without a time limit.
The company also noted that this is no longer the case as of July 1.
