Microsoft Teams: Collaborative Notes in Chats

Updated October 27, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. 

Introduction

We’re introducing Teams Collaborative Notes (powered by Loop) in group chats across desktop and web experiences. This feature enables users to co-create and edit notes, agendas, and action items directly within the Teams chat interface, enhancing real-time collaboration without switching contexts.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 498159.

When this will happen

• Targeted Release: Rollout begins late September (previously early September) and completes by late October 2025 (previously early October).  
• General Availability: Rollout begins early November 2025 (previously early October) and completes by mid November 2025 (previously late October).

How this affects your organization

Users will see a new Notes tab in group chats, allowing them to create and collaborate on Loop components such as agendas and action items. These components are editable inline, supporting synchronous collaboration directly within Teams.  

This feature is on by default for all tenants. Users do not need to install anything to begin using it.

What you can do to prepare

• You can manage this feature via the Teams Admin Center. If desired, Collaborative Notes can be disabled at the tenant level.
• Review internal documentation and training materials to ensure users are aware of the new Notes tab and its capabilities.
• Admins can manage the feature via the Teams Admin Center under: Messaging → Messaging Settings → Messaging Notes
  • Alternatively, it can be configured using the PowerShell cmdlet: Set-CsTeamsMessagingConfiguration
