Using Microsoft Loop within Microsoft Teams Meetings

I have recently discovered that Notes within a Teams Meeting has now been integrated with Microsoft Loop but I'm having a few challenges that I'd like some assistance with if anyone can help.

Firstly, when you now click "Notes" within a Microsoft Teams meeting, it opens up the meeting notes in .loop form. On the top right-hand corner of the window is the option to Copy the component and, as some feedback, this is fantastic. I can add my notes, create tasks, we can collaborate on the meeting minutes and then finally, I can copy and paste this into an email for all participants to see and take any action points.

Here's where it goes wrong. The very first part of the notes is labelled "Agenda" but you cannot create the loop file until you've started the meeting. Is there any way to create the Loop meeting notes when it's still a Microsoft Outlook meeting? Typically agendas are created before the meeting, not during.

Secondly, after the meeting ends the file is saved in your Onenote directory under meetings. However, as far as I can see there is no way to copy the loop elements at this point. You can share the entire loop file but you can't copy and paste it as you would when you use that Copy Component feature. In fact, at this point, they don't seem to be components at all and copying and pasting just takes across the plain text.

It feels like this could be a very useful feature but, at the moment, it's really inconsistent.

    Actually, never mind. Just started using this and it turns out that when you copy loop components into an email, external recipients receive a link they can't get to because Loop files cannot be sent outside the organisation.

    Completely pointless tool then and a downgrade on what was already there.

    It's a workaround, (and I also would much prefer if you could access the notes in advance from Outlook), but if you create the event from Teams (the Calendar tab), you can edit the meeting notes.

    google workspaces has had this functionality for almost a year now. I would think it's pretty obvious that you would want to share these things outside of your org as well as keep running notes for meetings that are a series. It really is a pointless tool right now which I found out the hard way.

    Microsoft Loop is really in its infancy stage right now with new features and functionality being added all the time. While what you stated is true right now in terms of sharing to guests, Microsoft notes that this functionality is being developed to extend to guests. Give it time as this tool has a lot of potential. Hopefully Microsoft will integrate OneNote into Loop as well.
