However, the users who don't want to upgrade to the paid version can continue using the free version albeit with a limit on the meetings. it might not be hard to conclude a meeting in hour if the user isn't ready to buy more meetings.

Google Meet and other video conferencing platforms like Zoom are on high demand during the coronavirus pandemic. Google Meet and Zoom have crossed the 100 million mark in terms of daily participants.
