Scenario
Question: Google Meet ended automatically after 60 minutes even though the Calendly event was scheduled for 2 hours. Is this a Calendly issue, and how can I prevent it from happening again?
Overview
This behavior is controlled by Google Meet, not Calendly. Free Google Meet plans automatically end calls at 60 minutes; longer call durations require a paid Google plan. If your organization is on a paid plan that should allow longer calls, contact Google Support to investigate possible technical issues.
Step-by-Step
- Confirm your Google plan: Check whether your Google Workspace/Meet plan supports meetings longer than 60 minutes.
- Verify who owns the Meet link: Ensure the host creating the Google Meet link is on the appropriate paid plan that includes extended call duration.
- Recreate the event if needed: If you changed connected calendars recently, reschedule the Calendly event to regenerate the Google Meet link using the correct host account.\
- Test with a shorter meeting: Run a 10–15 minute test meeting to confirm behavior before your 2-hour session.
- If on a paid plan but the call still ended: Collect details (date/time, meeting code, whether any end-of-meeting warnings appeared) and contact Google Support for diagnostics.
Key Notes & Limitations
- Calendly does not control Google Meet time limits or call endings; these are dictated by Google Meet plan policies.
- Free Google Meet plans can automatically end meetings at 60 minutes; longer durations require a paid plan with extended limits.
- Changing your synchronized/connected calendar in Calendly does not change Google’s plan limits; it can affect which account owns the Meet link.
- If no warning appeared before the meeting ended, the cause could be a technical issue (network, device, or Google-side). Google Support must investigate such issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Calendly extend Google Meet beyond 60 minutes?
A: No. Meeting duration limits are enforced by Google Meet based on your Google plan, not by Calendly.
Q: Does switching my connected calendar in Calendly fix this?
A: Not by itself. You must ensure the Google account generating the Meet link is on a plan that supports longer calls.
Q: I’m on a paid Google plan but my call still ended early. What should I do?
A: Gather meeting details and contact Google Support to review potential technical issues or account entitlements.
