Google Meet ended after 60 minutes — the free time limit

On a personal Google account, a Google Meet call with three or more people ends at sixty minutes; a one-to-one call can run for twenty-four hours.

What you are seeing

Your Google Meet call warned that it was about to end, then ended — usually around the hour.

The likely causes, most common first

Work down the list; most people find theirs in the first two.

1. Three or more people, on a free account

  1. Without a Google Meet subscription, a meeting with three or more people is limited to sixty minutes.
  2. Start a new meeting to carry on, or have somebody with a paid Google Workspace account host it.

Google: “Meetings with 3 or more participants for up to 60 minutes.” — support.google.com/meet/answer/7317473

2. You missed the warning

  1. At fifty minutes Google plays a chime and shows a message to everybody. That is the moment to agree where to continue.

Google: “At 50 minutes, everyone receives a chime and message notification that the meeting is about to end.” — support.google.com/meet/answer/7317473

3. It really did end

  1. Google ends the meeting at sixty minutes unless the host upgrades.

Google: “Otherwise, the meeting will end at 60 minutes.” — support.google.com/meet/answer/7317473

4. One-to-one calls are different

  1. A call with just two people can run much longer on a free account.

Google: “One-on-one meetings for up to 24 hours.” — support.google.com/meet/answer/7317473

Other Google Meet problems

Transcript missingA Google Meet transcript is saved to the organiser’s Drive, only starts from a computer or an Android phone, and waits for the host to join on the web.Recording missingGoogle Meet saves recordings to the organiser’s Drive, only records from a computer or an Android phone, and stops by itself after eight hours.Notes or summary missingGoogle’s automatic notes need an eligible plan, a meeting of about fifteen minutes or more in one supported language, and somebody from the host’s organisation to start them.Breakout rooms missingBreakout rooms in Google Meet need an eligible Workspace edition and a host on a computer, and Google never records what happens in them.No sound, or people cannot hear youMost Google Meet sound problems are one of four things: the browser was not allowed the microphone, you are muted somewhere, the wrong speaker is chosen, or you joined in Companion mode.Camera not workingWhen the camera does not work in Google Meet, Google’s own checklist starts with the simple things: the right camera, another app holding it, and permission in the browser and the computer.
