The Conventional Way Of Taking Meeting Notes: Use Microsoft Teams
First, let’s look at the conventional way of taking meeting notes on Microsoft Teams.
To do this, open Microsoft Teams and go to your calendar. Once you’ve found the meeting you want to take notes on, click on it to enlarge it. From here, you can change the title of your meeting, check on the participants, and adjust the frequency of the meeting.
The meat and bones of Microsoft Teams meeting notes is found in the agenda, meeting notes, and follow-up tasks sections. Here, you can change the date on the agenda and put some items here and there. You can also add meeting notes and tasks here. We suggest doing this on Microsoft Teams since doing it separately on OneNote can be a hassle.
After you’ve set your tasks and taken your notes, join the meeting. If you’d like to take notes during the meeting, you can use the Notes section. You can see the former notes you’ve taken before the meeting and add or adjust new ones. However, we suggest doing this before the meeting.
