Users, especially those who do not have an exchange account at the University of Vienna, can create a meeting link in Teams via the app Meetinglink.
- A meeting link without a scheduled time is generated.
- The meeting link does not expire and cannot be cleared.
- Meeting links expire when the user account that generated the link is deleted.
