Reusing Teams Meeting URL/permanent "meeting room"
Once I "Meet Now" in teams, I can obtain the URL link to that meeting and save it. Then, even after I leave the meeting and close teams, the link is still good. That is, later I or someone else can c...

I actually never ended up using that method, our group ended up using a competitors product for most meetings.
However, if you bookmark the URL in your browser, you should be able to click on that bookmark at any time and rejoin the meeting (or, if everyone else is gone, you'd start a new meeting in that same "room"). The browser should either automatically open the Teams desktop application, or prompt you to do so, or allow you to connect just using the browser. Hope that helps!

Thanks for letting me know glindauer.
It closes the meeting when you hang up although I didn’t try going back to the URL.
My workaround is from Outlook online creating a recurring all day meeting for Mon - Fri with the Teams switch on and no reminders or end date. I had to hide the chat as it shows the guest name but it’s ok for 1:1 meetings with different clients

- Yes, if you are the last person in the meeting it will close. However, if other people are in the meeting, it should stay open until the last person leaves. So if others are in the meeting and you leave, and they stay in the meeting, and you go back to that same URL, you should be back with them.
Is it not working that way? Again, haven't tested this since July 2020.- Yes you can rejoin if someone remains in the meeting however once everyone leaves on the Teams page it then closes the meeting and you can’t rejoin
Happy enough with the workaround I’ve come up with but was hoping for a more elegant solution 😁- bevrobertsmentor well, sorry about that. When I enter the meeting with the "copy link" URL (for my test that is

) from Teams, then leave the meeting as the only participant, then use the URL in a browser to initiate a new call, it works just fine... that's just one user. Maybe some difference in the Office 365 license? Tomorrow I will round up someone else and try more testing, and let you know how it goes.
