Video conferencing platforms for virtual meetups

Dear community,

I'm from the Apache Teacalve (incubating) project. We are organizing
online virtual meetups every month. Currently, we are using Zoom for
the meetups. Seems that Zoom's free plan only supports 40 minutes for
group meetings. I'm wondering if there're any recommended video
conferencing platforms or infrastructures for the Apache projects.
Thanks.

Hi Sun,

If it is a meeting with more than 3 people, Google Meet now has a 60-minute
time limit.
If it is a one-to-one call, it can last up to 24 hours.

Hope it can be useful to you. :-)

Best regards
Xun Liu

Thanks. Does Apache OpenMeeting provide any public service? Or, is it
possible to only use Apache's infrastructure for the deployment.

Thanks, Kevin. Google Workspace may be helpful, but I'm worried that
Google Meet may not be accessible by some places.

I'm also using Zoom sponsored by my employer. I'm thinking it would be
great to have a dedicated account (or infra) for ASF projects to
collaborate across organizations.

The foundation also has a donated license of Google workspace and can give
you an account on it. With that you can use it for longer meetings. Let me
know if you'd like me to set up an account.

A while back ago during one of the Apache board meetings, it was discussed
that they wanted to open up the streaming platform used by ApacheCon for
Apache projects to organize virtual events, because they pay for a whole
year's subscription only to use for the few events (ApacheCon).

Not sure what's the status now.

For the several projects I am involved in, we use the Zoom sponsored by my
employer. Since my employer has paid subscription, we don't have the limit.
