I would like to propose a small but meaningful improvement to Proton Meet within the Duo and Family plans.

Currently, Proton Meet allows only one active meeting at a time and limits meeting duration (e.g. 60 minutes on non-professional tiers). While this is understandable from a product segmentation perspective, it creates friction for one specific use case: private family conversations.

Proposal

For Proton Duo and Proton Family plans:

• Keep the restriction of one simultaneous meeting
• Increase the maximum meeting duration to ~3 hours
• Optionally limit longer meetings to ~10-12 participants

Rationale

This change would enable a very specific and important use case:
secure, private family communication - without turning these plans into business-grade conferencing tools.

• The single active meeting limit already prevents business or commercial use
• A participant cap (10-12 people) aligns well with real-world family needs
• Extending duration removes the need to reconnect every hour during meaningful conversations

Privacy impact

Proton Meet is one of the few solutions offering end-to-end encrypted video calls where even Proton cannot access the content.

Longer meetings in family-oriented plans would allow users to:

• discuss personal matters (health, relationships, finances)
• maintain family bonds across countries
• avoid exposing sensitive conversations to Big Tech platforms

Today, many families are still forced to rely on Google Meet, WhatsApp, or similar tools - not because they prefer them, but because they are more practical for longer calls.

Product positioning

This is a low-impact change:

• no new infrastructure tier required
• no change to concurrency limits
• no overlap with Meet Professional (which offers 24h meetings, large groups, and business features)

At the same time, it significantly increases the value of Duo and Family plans and could drive adoption among privacy-conscious households.

Personal note

I would strongly appreciate introducing this change to Duo and Family plans. It would make Proton a complete, privacy-first alternative not only for individuals, but also for families.

Also, thank you to the Proton team for launching Proton Docs and Spreadsheets - these are important steps toward a true privacy-respecting alternative to Google Workspace. Looking forward to future tools like presentations and drawing capabilities.
