You, too, may be used to the daily grind of remote meetings on Microsoft Teams.
However, consecutive and almost uninterrupted sequences can lead to considerable potential exhaustion.
Shortening your meeting times, if only by a few minutes, so that you can take a break, is important, but above all easier with this feature offered by Microsoft. 
Let’s take a look at how to put this new trick into practice!
A little empathy for your Teams meetings thanks to Microsoft
Since the switch to the hybrid office for teleworking, we’ve seen a phenomenon of meeting after meeting (if not reunionitis for some companies!) that no longer leaves time for even basic breaks such as going to the toilet, having a glass of water or coffee, or even stretching the legs. So Microsoft has introduced a feature to shorten meetings by rewarding concise, efficient work . Enjoy a little more free time for yourself and your colleagues.
Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to turn it into a real company policy!
How to reduce meeting time on Microsoft?
On the Outlook web application
Step 1
Click on Settings -> Show all Outlook settings 
Step 2
Click on “Calendar > “Events and invitations 
Step 3
Check “shorten duration of all events” to “shorten events”, “less than one hour” to “5 minutes” and “one hour or more” to “10 minutes” and save. 
From now on, when you schedule your next meeting, it will end according to the settings you have selected.
On the Outlook desktop
Step 1: Open Outlook and click on File > Options Step 2: Press the “Calendar” button Step 3: Check the “Shorten duration of all events” option on “Shorten events”, the “Less than one hour” option on “5 minutes” and the “One hour or more” option on “10 minutes” and save.
Now you can enjoy shorter meetings and appreciated breaks!
Your meetings can now last 25 minutes or 50 minutes.
