My account states it can only be used for 40 minutes; what do I do?


The 40-minute message indicates that you are signed into a Basic (free) Zoom account. Users with a Basic account will see that they can only host meetings up to 40 minutes in length. However, Zoom users with a Basic account can participate in meetings hosted by a Pro user for up to 24 hours in length.

My Zoom account will not link with Canvas? What do I do?

If Zoom does not have a user with this email address, the user sees an error message stating, "The user xxx@xxx is not a Zoom user."
