How long will Teams links stay live?

Question

I have integrated Teams in an external booking system that creates a Teams appointment and populates an Outlook invite. How long does the Teams link stay live? Because it looks like a long time I'd ideally like them to die quickly (next day) Needs to be minimum effort for the staff. Any ideas anyone? Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi @Lisa Anderson

I agree with the above, a meeting URL will never stop working. The expiry only relates to any PSTN dial-in numbers, CVI coordinates, and/or underlying meeting policies and

settings. According to the Microsoft documentation, the link will remain active for 60 days and that timer is reset every time the meeting is joined.

To get this feature more quickly, I have found a feedback in Teams UserVoice and you could vote for it.

Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience, some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, and your

good ideas will be very helpful for them to improve the service. Your time, understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.

Hi @Lisa Anderson

The meeting link does not expire:

Thanks so much @Dillon Silzer but is there a way to force the link to sever, I'm guessing no but thought I'd ask!

Thanks so much to you both. Very much what I thought and thank you @SokiGuo-MSFT for the voting link - it's got my vote!
