Initially, users can conduct a video meeting for an infinite amount of time on Google Meet. But with the lockdown lifting and the world again turning offline, Google tried to set a limit on video conferencing. The limits were planned to impose on September 2020, but because of the pandemic, the tech giant extended the unlimited call time offer even for free users till March 2021. Further, the company extended the offer till June 2021. Currently, you can use Google Meet for 60 minutes for a group video call, and one-on-one calls can go up to 24 hours for free users.
