Those are the best ways. If they’re not available to you, maybe schedule a meeting for directly after the video meeting. You’ll get a notification and your calendar will show blocked. Otherwise - to be blunt - just train yourself look at your clock more frequently.

I just realized you can open up the windows clock so it’s on top of the meeting by clicking on the time in the taskbar. I don’t have a problem glancing at the time, but it was too small for me to glance at in the taskbar.
