The holidays are fast approaching and Zoom is already in gifting mode. The tech giant announced that it will globally lift the 40-minute time limit for free meetings on Thanksgiving Day. Now families around the world can still enjoy quality family time with one another, despite being in the midst of a global pandemic.

As a thank you to our customers, we will be lifting the 40-minute limit for all meetings globally from midnight ET on Nov. 26 through 6 a.m. ET on Nov. 27 so your family gatherings don’t get cut short. ❤️🏡 #ZoomTogether pic.twitter.com/aubsH0tfxG

Zoom has been instrumental in making it possible for schools and offices to function since the pandemic hit. And now they are stepping up to make it possible for users all around the world to stay connected for free this Thanksgiving, at a time when we need it most.

Health experts are urging folks to forfeit their traditional family gatherings this holiday season to protect themselves and others from the coronavirus. New cases have been skyrocketing in recent weeks and with vaccines currently in production, with distribution to the masses projected for Q3 of 2020, we still have a long way to go until life as we know it has the possibility of somewhat going back to normal.
