Microsoft Loop to sumarize Teams meetings

Hi @Elsa Carvalho, 

Based on your inquiry, to better assist you, could you please clarify your specific goal?  

• If your goal is to take shared meeting notes, you can use Collaborative Notes in Teams, which are powered by Microsoft Loop. 
• If your goal is to have Teams automatically generate AI-based meeting notes or summaries, that is handled through Facilitator in Teams, not by Loop alone.

I will outline each method below, and you may choose the one that best fits your scenario: 

Method 1: Collaborative notes in Teams

• Open the meeting from Teams > Calendar, then use Notes either before or during the meeting. 
• All meeting participants can add agenda items, co-author notes, and track follow-up tasks in this shared notes experience.

Method 2: AI-generated notes and summaries 

• If you want AI-generated notes or summaries, users need to meet the requirements for Facilitator.  
• This includes an eligible Microsoft 365 base license, an eligible Teams license, a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and Loop experiences in Teams being enabled.
• 

If you are the admin, I recommend checking that Facilitator is allowed in the Teams admin center under Teams apps > Manage apps and confirming that Loop experiences in Teams are turned on. 

Please also note that Microsoft says Facilitator data in meetings is stored as a .loop file in the Meetings folder in the OneDrive of the user who initiated Facilitator.

To summarize Teams meetings with Microsoft Loop, use the AI-generated notes feature provided by Facilitator in Microsoft Teams and Teams Rooms. This relies on Loop components and Loop files for storing and presenting the notes and summaries.

To set it up for scheduled meetings:

1. Ensure required licenses and preview participation
   • Assign an eligible Microsoft 365 base license to each user who will use AI-generated notes and summaries.
   • Assign an eligible Microsoft Teams license.
   • Assign a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
   • Enroll users in the Microsoft Teams Public preview so they can use Facilitator features.
   • See the steps in “Set up Facilitator in Microsoft Teams” (referenced in the Facilitator documentation).
2. Turn on and enable Loop
   • Enable Loop experiences in Teams so AI-generated notes can be created and stored as Loop components and .loop files.
   • Follow the guidance in “Manage Loop components in your organization” to turn on Loop components.
3. Use Facilitator during meetings
   • In scheduled Teams meetings (including those with Teams Rooms on Windows or Android), start Facilitator so it can generate AI-based notes, summaries, and action items.
   • Notes created by Facilitator are stored as a .loop file in a OneDrive folder named Meetings for the user who initiated Facilitator. This data is treated as meeting transcript data.
   • On Teams Rooms devices, use the Notes button on the console to view the AI-generated notes during the meeting.

Once configured, Facilitator uses Loop to capture and synchronize meeting notes, summaries, and action items across participants and devices.
