How to use Google Meet for Free – Guide

Google Meet was hastily launched to address the need for video conferencing for the COVID-19 pandemic. When the service was launched, there was an offer for free users: 24-hour limit on video calls for group calls. Today, 9to5Google confirmed that Google’s pandemic promotion is over and Google Meet now limits free users to one-hour group video calls. Originally, video calls on Meet were supposed to be unlimited from the April launch until September 30, 2020, but Google has extended the deadline twice. The new Google Meet monetization plan is featured in these two support documents.

The meeting organizer determines the limits of video calls. Free users can have 1 to 1 video chats for 24 hours and group calls are limited to 100 participants and last for 60 minutes. At 55 minutes, you receive a warning message. Google’s paid account offering, Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), has several tiers that waive these requirements. The lowest tier of Google Workspace, the “Business Starter” tier at $6 per user per month, removes the time limit.

The “Business Standard” tier, at $12 per user per month, allows you to increase the number of participants to 150 and add features such as noise canceling, hands-off, meeting rooms and meeting recordings. Workspace’s $18 “Business Plus” tier adds attendance tracking and a limit of 250 participants.

The Google Meet free tier is a little more generous than Zoom’s free tier, allowing 100 participants for 40-minute meetings. This is enough to prevent a standard 60-minute calendar block from filling up.
