Automate notetaking in Microsoft Teams meetings

In Teams meetings, AI-generated notes keep your meetings organized and effective with automated notetaking based on the discussion during the meeting that everyone can edit and add to, along with follow-up tasks and actions that everyone can see.

Notes: 

  • AI-generated notes in Teams are available as part of the public preview program and might undergo further changes before being released publicly. To get access to this and other upcoming features, switch to Teams public preview.

  • Only Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed users can add AI-generated notes to a meeting or start them during a meeting. However, any meeting participant (excluding external participants) can see all real-time updates in Notes.
