Every meeting has two outcomes. Either your notes work for you, or they vanish into the digital void. Loop provides a simple way to keep track of what has happened, what needs to happen next, and who is responsible for what without having to dig through old notebooks or endless email threads.
Why Loop for meeting notes
Loop blends the flexibility of a shared document with the structure of a task list. It’s collaborative in real time, easy to reuse for recurring meetings, and it connects naturally to Teams and Planner. That means fewer scattered notes and a smoother handoff after every discussion.
Start with a meeting notes template
Open Loop and create a new page for your meeting. Add a workspace if you want to keep everything in one place for your committee or project team. Use a simple layout with three parts: agenda, notes and decisions, and action items. The template keeps every meeting consistent so you don’t start from scratch each time.
Capture notes together in real time
When you drop a Loop component into a Teams meeting chat, everyone can edit at the same time. It works well during fast discussions because updates save instantly. Everyone can see clarifications, add links, and record decisions where they belong. When the meeting ends, you leave with one clear record instead of multiple versions.
Turn decisions into action items
Turn any line of text into a task by typing a “/” and selecting Task list. Assign the owner, set a due date, and the task syncs with Planner or To Do. This is one of Loop’s biggest strengths. You’re capturing tasks at the moment they’re said instead of circling back after the meeting and hoping you remember.
Reuse notes for recurring meetings
This solves one of the most common challenges: recurring meetings with a recurring agenda. Use the first meeting’s page as your base. Duplicate it for each new session. All past notes stay in their own pages so you never overwrite what you captured last time.
Connect Loop With Teams for follow-up
Because Loop components can be placed anywhere, you can pin the meeting notes in Teams, add them to a channel, or include them in an email. Everyone stays aligned without having to search across multiple apps. Your final meeting summary is stored in one place and follows you.
When Loop works best
Loop is the right fit when your meetings move quickly or when multiple people need to contribute simultaneously. It shines for project teams, committees that meet often, and working sessions where the conversation shifts and decisions evolve.
