TL;DR: EA Global meetings have a default time, but you can skip to the goal of the meeting and avoid the urge to fill the entire allotted time.
Background
I had a meeting with Lizka. It was 7 minutes. In the remaining time, we grabbed food, and decided to write this post together.
What was in our meeting?
Me: “How about adding [some mysterious feature] to nudge people to write summaries for their posts?”
Lizka:
Me: “We have time left, wanna write a post called EAG Meetings Can Be Short?”
Lizka: “Can we have an image in there?”
Main Takeaways
EAG meetings can be short, have images, meta jokes, and have a concrete result, such as something new posted to the Forum.

If you're going to have a meeting this short, isn't it better to e.g. send a message or email about this? Having very short conversations like this means you've wasted a large slot of time on your EAG calendar that you could have used for different types of conversations that you can only do in person at EAG.
I agree!
I try sending enough context in my initial message for the other person to give a response, or at least to decide if it's relevant or refer me to someone more relevant.
Lizka scheduled with me anyway, probably because we spoke online and hardly ever met
