Details:

Teams meetings automatically create a corresponding Planner plan to capture meeting tasks. However, when teams use meetings as their primary collaboration surface for long-running initiatives, tasks from the same project can become scattered across multiple auto-generated plans. With this capability, users can now connect Teams meetings to existing Planner plans, so all related tasks across meetings can be tracked in one place.
