You can keep your Teams meeting notes within your meeting

Meeting notes are a great way to capture and share notes before, during, and after a Teams meeting.

What do I need to know about meeting notes?

  • Only people inside the organization of the meeting organizer can create and access meeting notes.
  • Meeting notes are not available in meetings that exceed 20 people.
  • Only people who were invited to a Teams Meeting before the meeting notes were created, will have access to them.
  • In a recurring meeting, the notes persist from meeting to meeting. Each meeting becomes a new section in the notes.

If you want to access notes from a channel meeting, go to the channel where the meeting occurred and find the meeting. Beneath it, select Show notes in fullscreen.
