Do SfB Conference IDs ever stop working?
It depends on the meeting type, as the confnerence is valid for different periods of time wherether it's ad-hoc or scheduled once or is recoccuring.
You can find specific details in the following blog article:

Thank you Jeff. A very helpful post.Your link prompted me to refine my own search which lead to a couple more articles. These may also help anyone else trying to figure out the vagaries of conference expiration.

Depending on which article you believe, conference IDs stay active for anything between 8 hours and 365 days. Anyone sending out toll-free numbers for their conferences need to be very careful.

I'm finding hard to understand, or perhaops hard to believe how the expiration of dynamic conference IDs work.
I have a business requirement for a conference bridge that is constantly available for our operational support team, when there's a major incident everyone piles into a call that matches the name of the major incident room and work until it's finished. So my need is really for a static conferenceID and meeting join link.
In Outlook if I create an all day meeting, recurring everyday for ever, I can add Skype details. By the details described here this should last for ever ! Gvien I can't test this, anyone else know ?
Also, I can create another all day, recurring everyday, Skype Meeting and get a new ConferenceID. So they both last forever.
This doesn't sound like reasonable use of one users license, so what are the limitations ?
The service description at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt634523.aspx states that meetings will end if the attendee list doesn't change for 24 hours. What does end mean ? Can I just dial in again the next day ? The Conference ID hasn't changed in the meeting booking.
Steven Collier Hi Steven - sorry to resurrect a very old thread but I’m also interested in this although for Teams meetings rather than Skype.
Did you ever get an official answer?
Thanks
Richard
