During the Covid-19 pandemic, we purchased a monthly Pro Zoom contract allowing us unlimited time limit on our meetings. We use this Zoom account throughout each working day and for our Monday Meetings.
However, from time-to-time individuals within the agency may have need of a Pro Zoom account for an industry related activity, such as a play reading. IF your Zoom call is industry related AND your Zoom call is before 10am or after 6pm, you can request to use the Pro Zoom account.
Please make a request from the agency, preferably at Monday Meeting. If you need a quick response then use the WhatsApp group to ask.
