Thanks Matt!!! Great work and SO easy to follow as always!!!

Hello Matt, Nice to find your Channel. So I understand that the meeting notes are better since they are attached to the meeting itself, but how about when you have meetings with external partners and only a couple of people from your team's company attend these meetings. How do I make it visible and reachable to everyone in the team in an easy to access way?

Hi Matt, great video. I have a question: When I modified the notes I noted that I also changed previous and future meeting notes too. Is it because the meetings are on a series basis? Thanks for clarifying.-

[aislingnolan]

Hi this is great thanks, do you know how to make the notes appear on the RHS like you have in the video? When I go into meeting notes, it takes up the entire screen so I can't see my colleagues. Any help much appreciated, thank you

[kamilome]

Thank you for all the videos, it helps so much.
I wonder how long the meetings notes are accessible after the meeting to the attendees. Is there a time limit (x days) and they are gone...?

My manager assigned me homework over the weekened to learn how to take notes on microsoft teams as I’m still new lol.
Thank you for helpful tutorial 😊

If you have reoccurring notes for a reoccurring meeting, the notes are always added at the bottom of the notes section... opposite of blog-style where newest are at the top. So you have to scroll way down the page to get the latest. I lousy feature. Then, if you want to move the notes to the top, you can only move them up one meeting at a time. Now imagine doing this through hundreds of meeting notes. A royal PITA. Nice job Microsoft!

[YolandaMabaleka]

Wow, This is very useful! Thank you.
Is there a way to replay the whole meeting or parts of the meeting that the orgnanizer forgot to record?

Your videos are great!! Is there a way to export on send these notes to Apple Notes because I primarily use a Mac and have all of my notes in Apple Notes

[JohannaLakso]

Thx for the videos! So where will the notes end up after the meeting? You showed in the video that you can find them in the chat from the meeting, but can you also get them into the SharePoint/Files of a team or channel to get more organized. Or do you have to go back to that exact meeting/chat when you want to find the notes a couple of months later?

[malitaus]

By far the simplest explanations I have ever seen on MS Teams.

Is there a way to create a Meeting Notes Template and use it for all Meetings ? Example - Meeting Notes Template with Agenda, Attendees, Action Items, Discussion Points, Important Dates, etc.

[stevenflax]

Great video and series - thanks . Is there any way to export the notes to other 365 users at the domain who were not in the meeting?

[seang]

Hi, my question is do the meeting notes ONLY show for you or are they shared with the group at the meeting? For me, I often take notes in OneNote but they are strictly for my use. Is that true for these notes?

[oliviahockin]

When I was in the call and clicked meeting notes - it did not come up at the side, it came up on the entire window. How do I get it on the side? I am on a Mac if that's any different?

[vishalkamalakaran]

Thanks for sharing. How do you share the notes with members external to my organization but were invited to a Teams meeting?

[angarato]

What if you want to schedule a new meeting without removing this one and keep all the chat, notes, files, etc shared? is it possible?

[DavidSmith-hsvg]

I am finding that meeting notes are available for one time meeting but when I scheduled a recurring meeting a frowny face message appears that meeting notes aren't currently available and to try again later. What is supposed to happen? A new page per recurring meeting?

[coolblue]

Meetings notes seem useless. You can't search and I can't see how to move them to a wiki in a channel (although they are useless also since you can't search them)

[lalonna]

Can you edit the notes or add to them once the meeting is over? I am mostly wanting to take notes in our meetings and then go back and add the minutes to the notes tab for everyone to be able to go back and see.
