How to end the meeting on Teams
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.

the organizer of a meeting can now end the meeting.
in a recent update is now a "End Meeting" in the client
End Meeting option
- Once I click "End Meeting", no one but the organizer should be able to "Start Meeting" again, regardless of whether or not the meeting has a lobby.
- There is best feature: after click end meeting lets kick-out participiants to the lobby - This functionality let organiser full control over meeting
(And then only mute all cams is missing;-)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.
- Yes it is nowadays scenario: if you pass someone through lobby, he can return back until he restart browser or "restart Teams app" as well - and it is not ussual case. So right functionality END feature must return attendees tu the lobby and reset their permission to pass through, right?
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.
