How long should a meeting be?
On the personal page meeting planner, you have the option to request a meeting duration of 15, 25 or 55 minutes. From our experience, we recommend:
Choosing 15 minutes for a quick introductory meeting.

Choosing 55 minutes for an in-depth meeting with a large number of participants with a set agenda for the discussion.
