How to find call start and end time for a meeting?
- Feb 10, 2020
If you go to your meeting in the calendar (in Teams) you should see "Chat with participants".
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.

fbsPaulI see it in the chat log even with external participants. It will show "Wednesday 10:48 AM Meeting ended: 18m 3s", but this only shows after everyone leaves the meeting, and the duration is from when the first person joins the meeting. So it is still useless if my goal is to find out when I entered and exited the meeting (which is my goal, to know how long to bill a customer).
- zk2020Apr 07, 2020Copper 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. - gtzpowerFeb 10, 2020Brass Contributor
LinusCansby How do I find this? It shows up right as a meeting ends, but after that, I cannot find a way back to it. If I click the "Chat" tab on the left, I only see chats with individual users, or groups of users. I do not see anything for meetings listed there.
I am not an admin.
EDIT: it turns out that I DO see some meetings there, but only if there was activity in the chat. If nobody sent anything through the chat, it disappears after the meeting is over and I leave the chat.

LinusCansby The 'best solution' yeilds "We're having trouble loaking your messages. Try refreshing." again. No refresh didn't help.
