Policy
End appointments and meetings early
Microsoft Office 5532.1000
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
This policy setting allows you to control whether the end time of appointments and meetings are reduced by a specified number of minutes when a user creates an appointment or meeting. If you enable this policy setting, the end time of appointments and meetings are reduced by a specified number of minutes when a user creates an appointment or meeting. To specify how many minutes to reduce appointments and meetings by, you can use the “Reduce the end time of short appointments and meetings by a specified number of minutes” and “Reduce the end time of long appointments and meetings by a specified number of minutes” policy settings. If you don’t enable those policy settings to specify a time in minutes, users will be able to specify a time, in minutes, by going to File > Options > Calendar. If the user hasn’t specified a time, default values of 5 minutes, for short meetings, and 10 minutes, for long meetings, will be used. If you disable this policy setting, appointments and meetings can’t be configured to end early and the option will be disabled under File > Options > Calendar and can’t be enabled by the user. If you don’t configure this policy setting, appointments and meetings aren’t configured to end early, but the user can enable appointments and meetings to end early by going to File > Options > Calendar. Note: This policy setting only applies to subscription versions of Office, such as Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.
