# MS Teams - Take Meeting Notes

## Notes in Teams

Any meeting attendee can capture and share notes before, during, and after a Teams meeting.

## Before the meeting

To take notes before a meeting, go to **Meetings** ![Meetings button](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4662144b-ab1f-4796-8b7b-e9f9c609894f/Images/Documentation/f788fe72-7168-45df-98c8-58ceac0a9aac.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-05T00%3A12%3A20Z&se=2026-11-05T01%3A12%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=JXTAvVM6%2FAmp2fcSAT1jFdrQWjAcfAIMcQIRRG7IrmQ%3D) on the left side of the app, select the meeting, and click **Chat with participants**. Select the **Meeting Notes** tab, then click **Start taking meeting notes**.

Add the agenda or other important discussion points. @mention people to get their attention or assign action items.

> Note:
> 
> Pre-meeting notes are currently only available for private meetings that don't take place in a channel. If you click **Chat with participants** in a meeting that takes place in a channel, you'll be taken to that channel.

## During the meeting

Once you’re in the meeting, click **Meeting Notes** ![Meeting notes button](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4662144b-ab1f-4796-8b7b-e9f9c609894f/Images/Documentation/44a1a0a7-dee2-42e6-9a98-84bee3502f3f.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-05T00%3A12%3A20Z&se=2026-11-05T01%3A12%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=JXTAvVM6%2FAmp2fcSAT1jFdrQWjAcfAIMcQIRRG7IrmQ%3D) in the upper right corner. If you have not taken any notes yet, click **Start taking meeting notes**.

Otherwise, start typing your notes. Use the controls at the top of the panel to format and lay out the text. To add a new note, click **Add a new section here.** Use @mentions to draw someone's attention to a specific note or assign an action item.

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> When you first add a note, a notification appears to everyone in the meeting. Anyone can then view, edit, or take their own notes.

In a recurring meeting, the notes persist from meeting to meeting. Each meeting becomes a new section in the notes.

## After the meeting

Go to the channel where the meeting occurred (or the meeting chat for a private meeting) and find the meeting. Beneath it, click **Show notes in fullscreen**.

![Meeting notes in a chat](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4662144b-ab1f-4796-8b7b-e9f9c609894f/Images/Documentation/e6e5a401-0e14-4504-98bb-dd12a6f00476.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-05T00%3A12%3A20Z&se=2026-11-05T01%3A12%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=JXTAvVM6%2FAmp2fcSAT1jFdrQWjAcfAIMcQIRRG7IrmQ%3D)

The meeting notes open in a Wiki tab that you or anyone who attended the meeting can read or add to. [Edit and format the tab](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/edit-and-format-a-wiki-tab-in-teams-cf83edd1-6bdb-4c0e-8040-bd70b3a11222) just like you would any other Wiki tab.
