Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Experts

From Microsoft Corporation
Technical Bulletin MC399073 · Published Jul 9, 2022 · Last updated Aug 10, 2022

Message Summary

Updated August 10, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Teams is enabled with a new feature that will allow meetings to automatically end if they’re identified as stale. If a user is the sole participant in a meeting 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting end time has passed, then a dialog will appear in the call prompting them to end the call or dismiss the notification. If no action is taken on the dialog within 3 minutes, the meeting will automatically end.

If there is more than 1 user on the call and/or the scheduled meeting end time has not passed yet, then the feature will not trigger.

If the user dismisses the notification, they will not see it again for the same meeting, and it will not be at risk to automatically end anymore.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 96710

When this will happen:

We will begin rolling out to Production in mid-September 2022 (previously early August 2022) and expect to complete by late October (previously early September).

We will begin rolling out to GCC, GCC-H, and DoD in late October (previously late September) and expect to complete by late November (previously late October).

How this will affect your organization:

Users may see this feature in meetings and be removed from meetings that automatically end.
