How the link works in Yandex Telemost
Yandex Telemost provides the ability to create video meetings via a link that remains active for an extended period of time. The main difference of the service from many other platforms is the absence of time limits on conducting conferences.
When creating a conference:
- You click “Create video meeting” in the app
- You get a unique link
- You can send this link to participants
- The link retains its validity regardless of whether you are connected to the conference at the moment or not
Conference access features
An important point: to access the conference via a link, registration in the service or a Yandex account is not required for participants. This makes the service convenient for organizing meetings with people who do not use Yandex services.
Access to the conference is possible:
- Through a web browser
- Through the Yandex Telemost mobile app
- From various devices (phone, tablet, computer)
The system does not limit the number of re-entries into the same conference via one link - you can exit and enter as many times as you want.
Factors that may affect access
Although the main information indicates the absence of time limits, there are factors that could theoretically affect access to the conference:
- Technical work on Yandex servers - in rare cases, the service may be temporarily unavailable
- Change in service policy - theoretically, Yandex could change the terms of use
- Access blocking - in exceptional cases in violation of service rules
Currently (2025 year) there is no reliable information about any time limits for conference links.
Recommendations for using links
To ensure uninterrupted access to your conference:
- Save the link in a reliable place - write it down in notes, save it in a file, or use a password manager
- Regularly check availability - before important events, make sure the link still works
- Create backups - if the conference is critical, save several copies of the link in different places
- Notify participants of possible changes - if you plan to conduct very long events, inform participants about saving the link
Comparison with other services
Yandex Telemost differs significantly from many other video conferencing services:
| Service | Time limit | Participant limit | Registration requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yandex Telemost | No limits | Up to 100+ participants | Not required |
| Zoom (free) | 40 minutes | Up to 100 | Required |
| VK Calls | Depends on tariff | Up to 50 | Not required |
| Many other services | 30-60 minutes | 10-100 | Required |
This makes Yandex Telemost particularly convenient for conducting long events and repeated meetings.
Practical tips
- For regular meetings - create a separate link for each event to avoid confusion
- For important events - send the link to participants in advance and ask them to save it
- For personal use - periodically check access to the conference, especially if you plan to use it after a long break
- For corporate use - discuss with colleagues the policy for saving links to internal events
