Microsoft Teams has become one of the most widely used collaboration platforms in the world, powering meetings, chats, and document sharing for organizations of all sizes. But just how much time do we collectively spend in Teams meetings?
Spoiler: Every day, Teams meeting minutes add up to the entire history of the Roman Empire… three times over.
The Global Scale of Microsoft Teams Usage
Recent 2025 statistics show that Microsoft Teams users generate approximately 2.7 billion meeting minutes every single day.
Breaking that down:
- Per day: 2.7 billion minutes of meetings
- Per minute: 1.875 million meeting minutes globally
In just one day, Teams racks up 5,100+ years worth of meeting time
This level of usage reflects Teams’ position as a cornerstone of the modern digital workplace, rivaling platforms like Zoom and Webex in scale.
Zooming in on U.S. Usage
Microsoft doesn’t publish official country-level meeting data. However, based on enterprise adoption trends and Microsoft 365 penetration rates, analysts estimate that the United States accounts for 30–40% of global Teams usage.
Applying that percentage to the global figure gives us:
- Low estimate: 562,500 meeting minutes per minute in the U.S.
- High estimate: 750,000 meeting minutes per minute in the U.S.
That means that, at any given moment, between half a million and three-quarters of a million Teams meeting minutes are happening in the United States alone.
If one person tried to attend all those meetings back-to-back, it would take over 1,000 years without stopping.
Putting It in Perspective
If we assume the average Teams meeting has 5 people, that means at any given moment, 100,000+ meetings are happening in the U.S. alone.
The next time you feel like you’ve been stuck in meetings all day, just remember: you’re part of a massive, minute-by-minute phenomenon that’s shaping how the world works.
