Microsoft has recently unveiled Loop 2.0, a significant update that promises to enhance the way teams collaborate and work together. With a revamped UI and a host of new features, Loop 2.0 is set to streamline the user experience and integrate seamlessly with the Microsoft 365 suite.
Simplified User Interface
The new UI in Loop 2.0 is designed to be clean and simple, removing any unnecessary clutter and focusing on what’s important – your work. The navigation menu on the left side of the app has been reorganized, making it easier to access meeting notes, favorites, recent items, and more.
Enhanced Creation and Organization
A new Create button has been prominently placed at the top left, allowing users to quickly create workspaces or draft ideas from anywhere within the app.
Additionally, you can now add Loop Components, pages, or ideas to a workspace directly from the breadcrumb at the top, streamlining the process of organising your content.
Collaborative Meeting Notes
All Collaborative Meeting Notes from Microsoft Teams are now neatly organised under the Meeting Notes tab in Loop, providing a simple way to access all your meeting notes (these are nested for recurring meetings which is the killer feature for me).
This feature enables users to create pre-read notes or agenda items for upcoming meetings and to keep track of in meeting notes too within the new Loop experience…
Note: Today, notes generated by Intelligent Recap are not stored here.. I hope this will soon be added.
Favorites and Recent Tabs
The Favorites tab on the navigation bar provides quick access to your most important workspaces, while the Recent tab helps you find your latest Loop pages and components across Microsoft 365, including those created in Teams, Outlook, OneNote, and Whiteboard.
From Preview to Release
Loop 2.0 is now rolling out gradually to all commercial customers after being tested with organisations enrolled in the Technology Adoption Program (Tap). Microsoft say it is actively rolling it out.
This update is part of Microsoft’s broader effort to reduce sign-in prompts, redirects, and delays when accessing their online services, making for a smoother and more efficient user experience.
