Leave a meeting - how long does it stay running?

Hello,

When a host decides to leave a meeting that they arranged, I know they can leave and it continues without them, as opposed to ending the meeting for everyone.

If a host leaves, and everyone else leaves, (no one 'ends' the meeting) if you go back in the meeting later it can still be running.

Does anyone know if the meeting is left like that will it automatically terminate after a set time period?

Thanks

If the meeting organizer clicks the leave button instead of clicking the end meeting button then the meeting will keep continuing. However, as per the documentation link below, MS Team (paid license) supports up to 24 hours of meeting. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams...

The meeting expiration really depends on the type of meeting it can be varied from +8 hours or +60 days. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams...

However, if the organizer clicking the end meeting button then the meeting will end immediately.

Thanks Daniel,

It's not the URL being available i.e. 60 days etc. It's the fact that the clock continues to count if the host leaves, doesn't end the meeting for everyone.

So it looks like 24hrs is the answer. 

Cheers
