Compiled by the DeskRated research desk from Microsoft, Harvard Business Review, Pew Research Center, Atlassian, Asana and Zoom data.

Surveys put the typical worker's meeting load at 11.8 to 18 hours a week, and managers with four or more direct reports at 22.2 hours (Otter.ai and Steven Rogelberg). In 2024, 78% of knowledge workers told Atlassian they are expected to attend so many meetings that it is hard to get their work done.

Key findings

  1. 11.8 hours

    People spend 11.8 hours a week in meetings on average, according to a 2026 Reclaim.ai survey of attendees at SXSW in Austin, Texas (self-reported, hundreds of responses).

    Details
  2. 57%

    Microsoft's 2025 infinite workday report says 57% of meetings are ad hoc calls without a calendar invite, based on worldwide Microsoft 365 telemetry (excluding EU and education customers, data to February 15, 2025). The report's methodology gives 60% for the 20% of users with the most meetings.

How much time do people spend in meetings?

Surveys where people estimate their own hours put the typical worker at about 12 to 18 hours of meetings a week, while calendar data tends to come in lower. Check which kind a figure is before you compare.

Reclaim and Otter figures are surveys where people estimate their own hours. Flowtrace is calendar data. Microsoft's 252% is growth in Teams meeting time during the pandemic, not a share of the workweek. Reclaim's 2026 sample is SXSW attendees, so treat it as indicative rather than representative.

How many meetings do people have, and how long and how big are they?

Calendar and telemetry data show more meetings than before 2020, with most booked for 30 minutes or less and many held as quick unscheduled calls. One-off meetings are usually small, while recurring meetings draw bigger groups.

Meeting length moved in different directions in different datasets: NBER's 2020 sample saw meetings get 20.1% shorter after lockdowns, while Microsoft's Teams telemetry saw the average meeting grow from 35 to 45 minutes over a year. Microsoft has measured the ad hoc share several ways across editions, so the 2025 figure is not a trend comparison.

What percentage of meetings are unproductive?

No survey counts unproductive meetings directly. Each one asks a different question (unproductive, ineffective, unnecessary or could be skipped) of a different group, so the answers below are not interchangeable.

Senior managers who agreed with each statement about meetings (%), Harvard Business Review survey of 182 senior managers, published July 2017
  • Unproductive 71%
  • Block own work 65%

Atlassian headlines this research as meetings being "ineffective 72% of the time" without explaining the calculation. The 72% matches its goal-clarity figure, so cite the per-purpose table instead of the headline. The HBR 71% is the view of senior managers in 2017, not all workers.

How much time is wasted in meetings?

Estimates of wasted meeting time rest on workers' own judgment of which meeting hours were unproductive, unnecessary or could have been skipped. Calendar data can show how long meetings last but not whether they were worth it.

Asana's 2024 role figures and its 2023 Anatomy of Work figures come from different surveys and groups, so do not join them into one trend line.

What do unnecessary meetings cost?

Meeting cost estimates multiply hours by pay. The best documented one, from Otter.ai and organizational psychologist Steven Rogelberg, uses each respondent's own salary and their own count of meetings they could have skipped.

The Otter.ai report's own key takeaways say a 5,000-person firm could recapture $10 million a year, but its table and text say $101 million. Use $101 million. The full-time respondents in the cost analysis had a median salary of $185,000, well above the US average, which pushes the dollar figures up.

Do managers and executives spend more time in meetings?

Yes. Every source that splits the data by role finds meeting load rising with seniority, from roughly 8 to 14 hours a week for individual contributors to more than 20 for managers with large teams and executives.

Flowtrace's role labels are its own guess from the shape of the data, not a measured split. For hours in meetings that people judged unnecessary or unproductive, by role, see the table under time wasted.

How big are Zoom and the other video meeting platforms?

Zoom and Microsoft Teams publish few usage counts today, so most current figures come from their financial filings. The famous 300 million figure from 2020 counts meeting participants, not people.

Zoom total revenue by fiscal year, in billions of US dollars. Zoom's fiscal year ends January 31, so FY2026 is February 2025 to January 2026. Converted from the reported millions (DeskRated calculation).

How do remote and hybrid workers use video meetings?

Remote and hybrid workers live on video calls far more than people who go into a workplace every day. The figures below separate survey answers from Microsoft's own telemetry.

How common is Zoom fatigue, and what causes it?

Researchers call the exhaustion that follows long days of video calls Zoom fatigue. Studies tie it to the camera, the self-view and the lack of breaks rather than to meetings alone.

Pew's 26% and Owl Labs' 38% measure different things: Pew asked frequent video conferencing users about time on video calls, and Owl Labs asked all US workers about meeting fatigue of any kind, including in-person meetings.

When do meetings happen, and are they spilling past working hours?

Microsoft's 2025 telemetry shows meetings bunched into the late morning and early afternoon, peaking on Tuesdays, and creeping into the evening as teams work across time zones. Many are booked at short notice.

Microsoft's 2025 figures come from Microsoft 365 telemetry worldwide, ending February 15, 2025, and exclude EU and education tenants. Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index annual report has no comparable meeting data.

What do people do in meetings?

Most people accept meeting invitations they would rather decline, then spend part of those meetings on other work. These figures are self-reported.

Share of meeting invitations employees say they accept, want to decline, actually decline and ignore (%), Otter.ai and Steven Rogelberg survey of 632 employees, summer 2022

  • Want to decline 31%

Ignore7%

The shares in the chart overlap (a meeting someone wanted to decline may still be accepted), so they do not add to 100%.

How many people use AI note-takers and meeting summaries?

Meeting summaries were one of the first jobs workers handed to AI. Vendors now report fast growth, though few publish absolute user counts for meeting features alone.

Zoom and Microsoft report growth rates for AI features, not how many meetings are summarized. Otter.ai's figures are the company's own and have not been independently audited.

What happens when companies cut meetings?

The evidence on cutting meetings is thin: one company's own account and one survey of firms that adopted meeting-free days. Neither is a controlled experiment.

The meeting-free days percentages are changes in employee pulse-survey ratings, not measured output, and the companies chose to adopt the policy. Shopify's hours are a company estimate of calendar time removed, not time saved after meetings were rebooked.

Meeting statistics that are out of date or have no source

These numbers appear on many meeting statistics pages. We traced each one as far back as we could. Some are decades old, some are misquoted, and some have no traceable source, so none of them is used as a current figure on this page.

Methodology

This page draws on four kinds of evidence and labels each one. Calendar and telemetry data (Microsoft 365 and Teams telemetry in Microsoft's Work Trend Index, Flowtrace's calendar analysis, and the NBER study of meeting metadata from 3.1 million users) count meetings as scheduled or held, but cannot say whether a meeting was worth it. Surveys (Atlassian, Asana, Otter.ai and Steven Rogelberg, Calendly, Owl Labs, Reclaim.ai, Microsoft and Pew Research Center) capture how people judge their meetings, and the hours they report are their own estimates.

Academic research (Harvard Business Review articles by Perlow, Hadley and Eun and by Porter and Nohria, the Stanford Zoom fatigue studies, the University of Georgia camera experiment and the MIT Sloan Management Review study of meeting-free days) is older but more carefully designed. Company filings (Zoom's Form 10-K and quarterly results) supply the video platform figures. Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index annual report has no meeting figures, so its 2025 infinite workday report, with telemetry to February 15, 2025, is the newest Microsoft meeting data.

Most meeting research is run or paid for by companies that sell meeting, scheduling or collaboration software, including Microsoft, Atlassian, Asana, Otter.ai, Calendly, Owl Labs, Reclaim.ai and Flowtrace. We cite each one to its own report, name it in every sentence, and give its sample where it publishes one. Flowtrace and Reclaim.ai publish little about their methods, so treat their figures as indicative.

Unproductive, unnecessary, ineffective and could be skipped are different survey questions, asked of different groups, so this page keeps them apart and never combines them into one number. Every figure was taken from the publisher's own page and checked against it by a second reviewer. Figures we could not trace to an original, including several of the most repeated meeting statistics online, are listed in the last section instead of being used.

Frequently asked questions

How much time do people spend in meetings?

Self-reported surveys put it at 11.8 hours a week (Reclaim.ai's 2026 survey of SXSW attendees) to 18 hours a week (Otter.ai and Steven Rogelberg's 2022 survey of 632 employees). Flowtrace's calendar data puts it at 392 hours a year in 2024. Executives average nearly 23 hours a week, according to a 2017 Harvard Business Review article, and Bain & Company found in 2014 that about 15% of an organization's collective time goes to meetings.

What percentage of meetings are unproductive?

No study counts unproductive meetings directly. In a 2017 Harvard Business Review survey of 182 senior managers, 71% said meetings are unproductive and inefficient. In Atlassian's 2024 survey of 5,000 knowledge workers, 78% said they are expected to attend so many meetings that it is hard to get their work done, and 67% to 75% said meetings are ineffective for each of six common purposes. Researchers from UNC and Asana found that 28% of meetings leave a lingering meeting hangover.

How much time is wasted in meetings?

Asana's Work Innovation Lab found that individual contributors spent 3.7 hours a week in unproductive meetings in 2024, up from 1.7 hours in 2019. Managers spent 5.8 hours a week in unnecessary meetings and executives 5.3 hours. Employees surveyed by Otter.ai and Steven Rogelberg in 2022 said 5.7 of their weekly meeting hours could have been skipped.

How much do unnecessary meetings cost?

Otter.ai and Steven Rogelberg estimated in 2022 that cutting unnecessary meeting attendance could save $25,000 or more per employee per year, out of about $80,000 spent on each employee's meeting time, or $101 million a year for an organization of 5,000 people. The full-time respondents in their cost analysis had a median salary of $185,000, well above the US average, so the dollar figures run high.

How many people use Zoom?

Zoom no longer publishes a user count. In April 2020 it reported 300 million daily meeting participants, up from 10 million in December 2019; that counts participants, not unique people. Its revenue was $4,868.8 million in fiscal year 2026, and at the end of July 2026, 4,625 customers each paid it more than $100,000 a year. Microsoft Teams had over 320 million monthly active users in December 2023, the newest count Microsoft has published.

Is Zoom fatigue real?

Yes, though it has eased since 2020. In a Stanford survey of 10,322 people in early 2021, 13.8% of women and 5.5% of men felt very or extremely fatigued after Zoom calls. Pew Research Center found that 26% of US workers who often used video calls felt worn out by them in January 2022, compared with 37% of regular teleworkers in October 2020, a narrower group. In Owl Labs' 2026 US survey, 38% of workers said they experience meeting fatigue.

Do meeting-free days work?

In a 2022 MIT Sloan Management Review study of 76 companies that adopted no-meeting days, firms that cut meetings by 40% saw employee-rated productivity 71% higher. The gains leveled off once meetings were cut by about 60%, and scores fell when meetings were dropped entirely. The figures come from employee pulse surveys, not measured output.

Does the US really hold 11 million meetings a day?

That figure is cited to a 1998 MCI white paper, Meetings in America, and Lucid Meetings traced it back to a 1976 book that gave no source. It is decades old and should not be cited as current. The widely repeated $37 billion cost of unproductive meetings has the same problem: we could not find an original calculation for it.
