How can I add the Loop notes function to a meeting when I am not the organizer of the meeting?

I confirma that Ms Loop could be a nice tool for personal usage. But I found several shortcomings that are affecting to application usage in general:
* Lack of hotkeys or shortcuts to select particular point when you type "/" and menu is opened.
* Maybe I missed something, but I can't find tags in the application. Tag allow you to connect different notes with each other and you can search tags as well.

You sir have just given me a reason to use Microsoft Loop. I recently started looking for a tool and it looks like Loop is it.

I use Notion for personal. I am setting up Loop for work and sharing at work. There is a lot of functionality that is missing for me. I hope that they eventually bring databases into loop.

Nice video, the content is well explained, and you give some useful insight. And for someone like me (english is not my primary language), the speech was nice to hear. Too bad that task sync won't work on personal plan (cause Exchange is not included in those plans). Some of these tips are useless without Business plan. Any information about potential improvement ?
Thanks for the content.

Hi Darrel… I‘ve been thinking of using the Microsoft Loop App as my Note taking app of choice, but I’ve been using OneNote for so long and the flexibility to create page templates in OneNote so that all my meeting notes look the same. Unfortunately with Loop, I can’t find a way to create a template page… What’s your workaround for this?

Great Video! thanks for sharing. Loving Loop - but that is mostly because it is the new shiny thing in M365. I am a diehard OneNote fan for over a decade and use it everyday. Aside from tasks syncing in Loop - are there other features that would bring me over from OneNote to Loop? I also feel frustrated with how Loops are stored and organized. I like the organization of Notebooks in OneNote, but curious if there are key features that would "convert" me from old OneNote dude to "hip" Loop dude. :-) Thanks for all the great video content!!

Gidday Darrell, Planner is not available for personal accounts though right? You need a company or school account? I'm interested to see how this evolves compared to Notion and Confluence.

So far I haven't been able to understand how to install it on MacOS, I've only been able to use it on the web version... I have purchased Office 365 but I can't find the Loop app to install, could you help me?

Are u using a Mac Loop app? Also I fly a lot can u use this offline like OneNote ? Thanks for the video

Can you do link to page to create a list of new pages? Like now you can In one note

Thank you for this video, it helped me to understand Loop better. But in the end I don't think I understand the advantage of Loop. Most of the things you showed can be done by simply sharing a Word document. There must be more, what am I missing?

[AndrewMckay]

thanks but i cannot embed Loop components in outlook or teams. I have the personal 365 subscription and from what i can understand Loop components are not available in personal Microsoft 365 subscriptions. They are only accessible in commercial Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

I can not get loop tasks to sync with To-do. Do you need a business account for this?

[seang]

I'm confused where Microsoft is trying to get us to use Loop. The entire App to me seems very much like we already use OneNote--a common note taking/documentation.

I got a giggle seeing the word colour underlined as a spelling error.
