Note: If you are a Licensed user and join a meeting hosted by a Basic user, the meeting will have a 40-minute restriction. Definitely no other participants logged in. If you are signed-in with the correct address, you will need to contact your administrator to be assigned a paid license. Hi, I am also having the same problem: the 40-min time limit kicking in when its just a one-to-one meeting. Please open up the Zoom client, sign out, and then sign in with the email that is associated with your paid account. If you are a Licensed user and you are receiving the notification, you may not be signed-in to the appropriate paid account.

You can choose either an image or a video as your background. You will then see Virtual Backgrounds, where you can choose from the preloaded options, or upload your own by clicking the plus (+) icon to the right of Video Filters.

On the left side menu, go to Background & Filters. If you need to have meetings longer than 40 minutes, you can upgrade your account or the account owner or admin will need to assign you a license.

If you are a basic (free) user on a free account, 40 minutes is the maximum duration your meetings can last. You can either end the meeting and restart it for an additional 40 minutes, or you upgrade to Pro for unlimited meeting durations. Below are situations where that may happen and how to resolve this. When nearing the end of your meeting's allowed duration, you will see a notification that your meeting will end in x amount of minutes.
