Let’s be honest. Zoom has become a non-negotiable tool. Whether you're a freelancer closing clients, a student attending virtual classes, a business owner running remote meetings, or a creative hosting online events… Zoom is that one app we all swore we’d only use “for now” but can’t seem to let go of.

But just when you're fully settled into using it... bam! Zoom says you’ve hit the 40-minute limit. Want to host longer meetings? You need to upgrade.

You're thinking, “No wahala, let me pay.” And then the real problem starts.

You try your naira card.

Declined.

You try again.

Declined again.

Your bank says, “It’s international.” Zoom says, “Contact your provider.” Your meeting is tomorrow, your client is expecting you, and your only option now is to start begging a cousin abroad.

Why does something as simple as paying for Zoom feel like a full-blown project?

The Zoom Free Plan Is Good, Until It's Not

When Zoom first came into our lives, it felt like magic.

You could meet, collaborate, screen-share, and record… all for free.

But once you start using it seriously, that free plan starts to feel like a trap:

• 40-minute meeting limit (even for just two people)

• No cloud recording

• No breakout rooms

• No admin controls or advanced settings

If you're running a business, hosting clients, teaching, or even running a webinar, those limitations aren’t just inconvenient, they’re a dealbreaker.

You need the Zoom Pro Plan or higher, and it starts at around $15 per month.

Which is still affordable, if you can pay.

Here’s Why Most People in Nigeria Struggle to Pay for Zoom

It’s not about the $15. It’s about how to pay that $15.

Zoom is an international service. It bills in USD, and most Nigerian naira cards don’t work for that anymore.

CBN policies have blocked most naira cards from making dollar payments online. Even if you’re lucky enough to get one that works, the exchange rate might hit you like a truck , ₦1,800/$, ₦1,900/$, even more.

So what do most people do?

• They switch between free Zoom accounts like outfits.

• They use a friend’s account and pray it doesn’t get logged out.

• Or they avoid upgrading completely, even when it’s affecting their work.

That shouldn’t be your reality. Not in 2025.

This is Where Myaza Comes In

Myaza isn’t just another dollar card platform. It was built for people like you. Nigerians, Africans, remote workers, creatives, and hustlers who need to pay for things without fighting their bank first.

With Myaza, you can:

• Create a virtual dollar card in minutes (Visa or Mastercard).

• Fund your card with USDT, USDC, or naira (yep, we made that easy too).

• Pay for Zoom instantly… no restrictions, no FX wahala.

• Enjoy some of the best exchange rates you’ll find anywhere (₦1,630–₦1,650 at the time of this post).

And guess what? You can also use that same card for Canva, ChatGPT, Netflix, Apple Music, Facebook Ads, Notion, and more.

Why Upgrading Your Zoom is Actually a Smart Move

If you use Zoom even semi-regularly, here’s why it makes sense to go Pro:

• No time limits — Host meetings as long as you want.

• Cloud recording — Save replays automatically and share links instantly.

• Branding options — Add your logo, custom waiting rooms, and more.

• Advanced security — For those of us who’ve been Zoom-bombed before.

• Customer support — Because things will go wrong at some point.

It’s a small monthly fee for massive peace of mind.

Especially if you’re:

• Running a small business

• Teaching or coaching online

• Pitching international clients

• Hosting live events or trainings

• Working with a distributed team

Okay, But What If I Don’t Have Crypto?

No problem.

While Myaza supports funding with stablecoins like USDT or USDC, you can also fund your wallet with naira using bank transfers or even fintech platforms.

Once the funds hit your wallet, just swap to USD (if needed), and you’re good to go.

Then create your virtual card in a tap, go to Zoom, and pay.

No calls to your account officer. No card rejections. Just clean, stress-free payment.

People Are Already Using Myaza to Pay for Zoom (and More)

We’ve seen Myaza users pay for:

• Monthly Zoom Pro subscriptions

• Annual Zoom plans (cheaper in the long run)

• Zoom webinars for 100+ participants

Zoom Is Essential. Paying for It Shouldn’t Be a Problem.

In this era of global meetings, remote teams, online workshops, and digital businesses, Zoom isn’t optional anymore.

It’s a tool, and it deserves better than you begging banks every month just to pay $15.

So if Zoom is important to you (and let’s be honest… it is), then Myaza should be in your corner.

Create your virtual card. Fund your wallet. Pay like a global citizen.

Don’t let failed payments be the reason you miss a client, cancel a training, or lose out on your next big deal.
