Ever been in a live, in-person meeting and wished someone could take notes for you? Now you can make that happen, right from your phone, with the Microsoft Teams mobile app and the Facilitator agent. Just make sure you he a Copilot license, since this feature depends on it.
Here鈥檚 how it works:
Start from the Teams Mobile App Open the Teams app on your phone Go to your Calendar Tap the + (plus) button Select "Take notes with Facilitator"This kicks off a meeting that鈥檚 automatically recorded and transcribed.
Real-Time Transcription and NotesOnce the meeting starts:
You鈥檒l get a notification that transcription and note-taking are active Confirm your language (e.g., English) As people speak, Facilitator captures: Agenda items Meeting notes Follow-up tasksIt鈥檚 the same Facilitator experience you get in the Teams desktop or web app鈥攋ust optimized for in-person meetings.
Notes Are Sed AutomaticallyWhen the meeting ends:
Tap End Notes are sed to Microsoft Loop A calendar event is created automaticallyThis means:
You can revisit the notes anytime in Loop The event is searchable and accessible via your calendar Everything is part of the Microsoft Graph, so Copilot can reference it Use Copilot to Follow UpIf you鈥檙e like me and use prompts like: "List actions items that I missed from last week and prioritize them into a table."
Copilot will pull in those Facilitator notes and give you a clean summary.
Bring it home...
To be honest, I had no idea this feature existed but so happy I found it! This is a simple but powerful way to stay organized during live meetings, without needing a dedicated note-taker. I鈥檓 excited to use this more often.
Go try it out. Push some buttons. Let the tech do the work.
