I need to set up a video conference for about 30 people for 2 hours. I would use zoom or ms teams, but Zoom limits me to 45mins; ms teams, as far as I understood, limits me to 1 hour.

What is the best and the simplest way to do this (and it must be a reliable option with web access)?

Ps: there is no need to be foss or super private or encrypted.

    Check jitsi meet (meet.jit.si) It is a free service based on an open source framework and runs fine in a browser. I don’t know of it can handle 32 but during the pandemic it was used for online classes.

      Do you know if I can schedule a meeting for a specific date in jitsi (I cannot find any mention of this)?

        You can persist the session and use the link to it on the invite I think. The link is not protected however, anyone can use it but that never was an issue.

      I’m an android/windows user myself. Can one schedule a facetime call? Is web experience as good as ms teams/zoom offers?

        I’m sure the web version is as good as or better than Teams or Zoom. Any Zoom calls I’ve been subjected to have been a complete shit show of people trying to get it to work for the first 15mins…

        Check out this article re. setting up and scheduling a FaceTime call. FWIW, anyone can join the call on any device but you’ll need an Apple device to set it all up initially.

    I’ve been in way too long Google meet calls with that amount of people.

    In theory it should work, but I’m not 100% sure if long calls are maybe a business customer feature
