Making a Mother's Day call will be particularly meaningful to some families who are separated by physical distance this year and many will be making video calls to create a sense of togetherness. Video conferencing app Zoom has quickly become a preferred way for people to keep in touch with one another face-to-face yet at a distance and while many businesses are on paid plans for using the service, others are restricted to 40-minute windows for hosting their calls.
Knowing that the current situation is putting a strain on families that are apart, Zoom teamed up with Dove to offer an unlimited window for making Mother's Day calls. For the privacy and protection of users, Zoom will be enabling waiting rooms and using password protection.
