Microsoft Teams: How Long Can a Meeting Last?

Microsoft Teams: How Long Can a Meeting Last?

Posted on January 4, 2021 by Madalina Dinita Leave a Comment

If you’re planning to host a major meeting on Microsoft Teams, you may be wondering how long that meeting can last. That’s a good question to ask, especially if you have a long list of attendees.

You all know how it goes: one attendee asks a question, then another one follows and you’re down into the rabbit hole of questions and answers. And maybe you need to host another meeting on another day to answer the questions left unanswered.

Meeting Duration in Microsoft Teams

If you’re using the free version of Microsoft Teams, the meeting can last up to 60 minutes. Exceptionally, Microsoft Teams meetings currently have a 24-hour time limit for a limited period of time (undefined).

Microsoft temporarily extended the meeting duration from 60 minutes to 24 hours for the free version of Teams to help users stay connected. In other words, you can meet for 24 hours with up to 300 participants until further notice.

Meet Now

Meet Now meetings expire 8 hours after the start time. In other words, the meeting automatically closes 8 hours after you launched it. For example, if you start the meeting at 10:00, it remains open until 18:00.

Regular and Recurring Meetings

Regular and recurring meetings with no end time expire 60 days after the start time. On the other hand, regular meetings with end time expire 60 days after the end time. While recurring meetings with end time expire 60 days starting from the last occurrence.

Microsoft Teams Events

Meetings that are several hour-long are usually live events or long-term planning events. You can use Teams to host live events with up to 10,000 attendees with a four-hour duration.

You can read more about the limits of Microsoft Teams on Microsoft’s Support page.
