Meetings Suspensions

Hello All:

Perhaps a silly question?!?

Apologize in advance if answerable somewhere on site.  I cannot seem to find it.  Talk about IT overhead masking the application itself!

Anyways....

How does a host suspend a scheduled meeting once it has started, to resume at a future time?  I.e. we all want to take a bathroom break, lunch break, pending something else etc. etc. etc.  I am talking about the host simply stopping the meeting explicitly  (not just letting the clock run on without any participants present/actively engaged)  and resuming it again prior to its scheduled termination time.

Specifically I do not want the 40 minute deadline of inactivity to time out the meeting entirely.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Regards
