How to find call start and end time for a meeting?
If you go to your meeting in the calendar (in Teams) you should see "Chat with participants".
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.
;=(
LinusCansby This used to work until recently, but now it seems MS has decided to remove this possibility - at least for meetings organised by someone in another organisation. If you attempt to access the chat of a past meeting, you will now receive this message:
"Sorry, chat is unavailable until you join the meeting." And of course you cannot join a meeting without someone from the other organisation letting you in to the meeting. I guess this actually makes sense, but it (unintentionally, I'm sure) also means we can no longer check meeting duration retrospectively, which is pretty silly.Yes, now the best way is the attendee report that organizers can get. I that you see when attendees joined and leaved.
LinusCansbyit blows my mind that after YEARS of this thread being open, we don't have something as simple as this available to the person joining the meeting. My company bills by the minute, so this type of meeting history would be great to have.
LinusCansby... Yeeeesssssssss!!! TY!
- Thank you for this. In my case, my calendar and Teams are signed into separate accounts for reasons I won't get into. I found that if I re-opened the meeting from the calendar entry in Outlook and opened the chat, I was able to see the times.
- Thanks! I'm in the same boat and this worked well. A bit clunky to have to re-start the meeting, but I was able to get the information so that's what counts.
LinusCansby What if a meeting is not pre-scheduled then how would you check the start and end of a meeting?
- If you just do a "Meet now" meeting it is harder if there is no chat history, since then there is no history saved about this meeting in the client. Then it is the Teams Admin Center you have to check.
LinusCansbyThat is it! Thanks!!
I am seeing the start time of my meeting, but not the end time. Not sure why this should be so difficult. Why isn't there simply a history click through for meetings like there is for chat?
@here is a meeting going on right now, or at least TEAMS thinks there is, but I know I left the meeting, so when the meeting ends it will show the meeting end time, not the time I left the meeting.
