Teams Meeting Duration

Question

How long can I hold a teams meeting with colleagues who do not have MS365 subscription

Answer 1

Hi, I'm John!

It depends on the type of Microsoft Teams meeting you are using.

For free Microsoft Teams accounts, meetings with participants who do not have a Microsoft 365 subscription can last up to 60 minutes for group meetings.

For Microsoft 365 users, meetings can last up to 30 hours, even if the other participants do not have a subscription.

To help narrow down the issue:

1. Are you using Microsoft Teams Free or Teams with a Microsoft 365 subscription?
2. How many people usually join the meeting?
3. Are you creating the meeting from the Teams app or from Outlook?

Answer 2

With Microsoft Teams Free, meetings can last up to 60 minutes, regardless of whether colleagues have a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Participants without an account or subscription can still join via the meeting link, but the maximum meeting duration for Teams Free remains 60 minutes.
