The new feature of Collaborative notes in Microsoft Teams, powered by Microsoft Loop, is designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of meeting management. One of the key challenges in managing meetings is note-taking, which is essential for effective communication and information retention. However, the rise of virtual meetings, the increasing complexity of discussions, and the need for multitasking have made the traditional approach to note-taking less effective and more challenging. Collaborative notes are introduced to address these issues, enabling meeting participants to collaborate on the agenda, take notes together, and track follow-up tasks. This new approach eliminates the bottleneck of having a single note-taker, making the agenda and notes visible to everyone, thereby improving accuracy and inclusivity.

Collaborative notes are Loop components that stay in sync across various platforms where they have been shared, such as Outlook, Teams chat, the Loop app, Word for the web, and Whiteboard. Before a meeting, participants can share the Collaborative notes in a Teams chat or email to begin building an agenda together, ensuring everyone can include their topics for review with the group regardless of their preferred Microsoft app.

During the meeting, all participants can add last-minute agenda items, co-edit the meeting notes, and draft and assign tasks. It's also possible to see who is working in the Collaborative notes and who wrote each part. Project leaders and contributors can continue to share these notes during and after the meeting to maintain project momentum and drive efficiency.
As the team continues to work, they can update notes, check off tasks, and add new follow-up items from whichever app they are working in. The captured tasks sync to ToDo & Planner, so everyone is automatically reminded to follow up.

Finally, as Loop components, you can easily take your Collaborative notes from your meeting into the Loop app and continue to drive your work forward. Adding your component to a Loop workspace allows you to gather everything else you need for your project in one place. In the future, the integration of Loop components with OneNote will enable users to seamlessly incorporate their collaborative meeting notes into their OneNote notebooks, allowing continued editing of these notes within OneNote and helping to consolidate meeting notes in a single, centralized notebook.
