One of the features that you have to say ‘Bye-Bye’ to is the no limit on the time limit for group video calls. Google has now restricted the time limit to a maximum of 60 minutes for a video call with ‘3 or more participants in it. Earlier there was no such rule.
If you were want to still go on using the service as you were using before then you would have to switch to the premium workspace plan at a price of $7.99 (around Rs 740) per month. The service is available for the users of only a few handfuls of countries as of now namely the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan.
