User Access to Meeting Notes
If the default link setting is Company Shareable Link (CSL), users not on the original invite may struggle to access meeting notes, leading to confusion and potential exclusion from important information.

explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature that makes it easier to take and share meeting notes during instant meetings. Think of it like a shared digital notebook that everyone in the meeting can write in at the same time. This feature is powered by something called Loop, which helps keep everything updated and synchronized across different platforms, like Teams and the Loop app in your web browser.
Imagine you're in a meeting, and everyone has a piece of paper to jot down notes. But instead of each person having their own paper, there's one big piece of paper that everyone can write on at the same time. This is what Loop-powered meeting notes do. They allow everyone in the meeting to contribute to the agenda, take notes, and create tasks together. And because it's all digital, these notes can be accessed and edited even after the meeting ends.
These notes are also connected to other tools like Planner and To Do, which means any tasks you create during the meeting will automatically show up in your task lists, and you'll get email notifications to remind you about them. It's like having a personal assistant who listens to your meeting and then updates your to-do list for you.
The rollout of this feature will start in February 2026 and will be available to all users who participate in instant meetings on Microsoft Teams. There's no need for administrators to do anything to enable this feature, as it will be turned on by default. However, it's a good idea to inform your team about this new capability and update any internal documentation to reflect this change.
One thing to note is that these meeting notes won't be available for regular Teams calls, only for instant meetings. Also, the way notes are shared depends on your organization's settings. If your organization uses a Company Shareable Link, everyone in the meeting can access the notes. But if it uses a People Specific Link, only those originally invited to the meeting will have access, and others will need to request permission.
Overall, this new feature aims to make meetings more collaborative and efficient by ensuring everyone is on the same page, quite literally, during and after the meeting.
