A Thanksgiving crumb from Zoom

 Thanksgiving is likely to look different this year, with stores stocking up on small turkeys to meet a new demand. But Zoom, as a thank-you to its customers, will lift its 40-minute time limit on free meetings -- from midnight ET on November 11 until 6 a.m. ET on November 27. Normally paid yearly packages of Zoom cost between $150 and $200. If a host selects the free option, a meeting must end in 40 minutes. 

The video communications platform isn't just lifting the free time limit in the U.S. This Thanksgiving initiative is global. So wether you have friends in Sydney or London or Taipei, you can talk to them this Thursday as long as you like.
