How to find call start and end time for a meeting?
I would like to find out what time I called into a meeting and what time I hung up. I am basically looking for something like Calls -> History, but meeting calls don't show up here. How can I find this information?
If you go to your meeting in the calendar (in Teams) you should see "Chat with participants".

I would argue this is not a solution as it only shows how long the meeting lasted and not how long "YOU" specifically were at the meeting.

I know this is old but wanted to update it as it was the first thing that popped up on my google search. I went digging into Teams and found a CALLS section which shows the length and who called who.

I'm also late, but I think some other are having the same question.
Thanks, that helps really with calls, but there is still an open issue with meetings.
My experience: If a meeting is scheduled by myself with an external partner, I can find something like "attendance" as an excel sheet in the meeting info.
In my opinion this is uncomfortable to find and not always available. If someone has a good idea how to get those information (when do I join and when leave a meeting).

Sorry Tom I haven't seen anything that is convenient to get. I think there might be something in the audit logs but that would be a major pain to have to pull out. The closest thing I have is in CHATS it shows the meetings I was in by date but it also shows chats. The best you could to was see when the meeting was then go into the meeting and pull the attendance. Definitely not as easy or clean as seeing your call log.
gtzpower You should be able to see this in the meeting chat.
You could also, as an administrator, check in Teams Admin Center.

That "meeting ended" time duration is just how long the meeting lasted. If you jumped on the call late and left early though you might have only been on the meeting for 5 minutes. But that info is not there. Not a big deal for a 20 minute meeting, but if you joined a 4 hour meeting for only 1.5 hours, but couldn't remember exactly how long you were on that meeting, it would be good to be able to find that out.

Microsoft strikes out regarding usability -- again. Teams provides as history service for calls; make sense to do the same for meetings. But no, they hide the length of the meeting in the chat -- it has nothing to do with chat. At least there are knowledgeable and generous souls to help users overcome -- thank you.

KBNJ99 I'm not sure where all these folks are seeing this in the chat - but the chat only says '(person) was invited to the meeting.' with no timestamp, any Chat items with timestamps, and 'Meeting ended' with a timestamp. It does NOT show anyone joining or leaving the meeting. So either they changed this since the previous months, or this feature is not the same on various 365 tenants, or for external users.
- zk2020Copper ContributorDoes the meeting duration and time of day the meeting ended only show or pop up in the chat once "all" attendees have exited/ended the meeting? And it won't send if one person has not left, hypothetically.
It seems as though this is the case and is different than how SFB worked.
