Will my scheduled meetings be cancelled if I downgrade Zoom?

Your existing scheduled meetings remain, but meetings exceeding the 40-minute free-tier limit will be cut short when they run during the free plan period.

What happens to my cloud recordings?

Cloud recordings are retained for a grace period after downgrading. Download them before your paid plan expires, as they'll eventually be deleted.

Can I still host meetings on the free Zoom plan?

Yes, the free Basic plan allows unlimited 1-on-1 meetings and group meetings up to 40 minutes with up to 100 participants.
