Hi,
Anybody else missing the feature from Skype where you could end the meeting? Think about scenario where you have 100+ external participants on the meeting. When the meeting is over, from the security point of view I personally would like to end the meeting and nicely kick out everybody from the meeting.
Currently I can see that participants stays on the meeting even the meeting is over.

Hi @Petri X - agreed, does seem off to not have that feature. My guess is that Microsoft's answer is to use Live Events rather than Meetings.

@Kelly_Edingerthe meeting with 100+ attendees was only an exmple. Of course there could be a smaller meeting which are more natural online meetings. So in that sense live event is not the answer.

Hi @Petri X - you'll get no argument from me. I get that Teams is more of a 'democracy' than Skype, but we still need a lot of that main functionality. The ability to officially end a meeting shouldn't be that rare of a request.

@Petri X I have the same need - well: I will kick out each - one by one:-)...

It doesn't stop the user from being able to rejoin.

@JayWilliams Hi, yes, but inside a company network it doesn't matter.
I need this functionality for meetings with partners out of company - So only solution is to gently "kick-out" users in hope they close window - and there are no way to get back thru lobby after close browser window.

@DavidPlesinger It does matter in a school setting. A teacher kicks students, leaves, and the students can rejoin and communicate without supervision.

@JayWilliamsWe are in the same situation, needing to be able to end a student session without them being able to rejoin. We encourage teachers to record their sessions as part of monitoring, but I guess that only applies as long as the teacher is present.

@JayWilliamsThis UserVoice topic has entered "Testing" stage yesterday, so that's a positive move forward: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/18715552-allow-organizer-to-en...

Eh! Kind of good.
But that actually does not end the meeting. It only kick outs all attendees at the same time, but does not block them to rejoin anymore. If I want to end the meeting, I wish to end it. Especially if I have a function for that.
Second thing is, why not add a note for attendees: "Mary Doe has end the meeting"? Now the call just end, nobody knows why and by whom. I already can see the phone calls coming to helpdesks: "why my meeting ended??". And the answer is: "sorry, we do not know.".

@David Plešinger in my testing, even after removing the participants, they can rejoin and still retain access to the chat for the meeting. So in my scenario, that allows students to remain in chat without a teacher supervising.

Today Microsoft has not given us a possibility to lock the meetings. Attendees who could by pass lobby are:
- Everyone
- People on my organization and trusted organizations
- People on my organization
Unless your attendees are outside your organization, you cannot avoid people to re-join to your meeting.
Correct behavior is the same what text says: "End meeting". After that nobody is able to join to that meeting.
Plus, when you end meeting, it should be told to attendees, that organizer has end the meeting.
