Windows 10 OneNote and Office 365 Outlook, no way to add meeting notes to a meeting

We're currently piloting some Surface Laptop 2s at my company and Office 365. I'm upgrading from Windows 10, Outlook 2016, and OneNote 2016 to Windows 10, Outlook Online, and Windows 10 OneNote. One of the biggest things I noticed was the "Meeting Notes" function was missing in the New Meeting set-up on Outlook. I've tried to manually add it to the ribbon, but it stays gray. Any ideas?

    They stopped adding the ear with 2016. If you have an enterprise license, the first time after upgrading your desktop and cloud apps won't have a year. I suspect in this new age of auto-upgrades, OS and Cloud apps, the need for the year is unimportant. It's your build.

      Scot Witt Like I said in my original post, I've upgraded to Windows 10, Office 365 Outlook, and Windows 10 OneNote (from the Microsoft Store), and there is still no add-in for OneNote Meeting Notes in Outlook.

        I’m in the same situation. OneNote for windows 10, Outlook with Office 365 and no “Meeting Notes” function. I guess manually install OneNote 2016 would correct this but I’m reluctant to have a legacy version running in conjunction with a new one. The irony here is that I’ve worked in the past with Outlook 2016 and OneNote for Mac and the missing “Meeting Note” function was a big complain from Mac users (although it briefly appeared in an insider fast update last year). Happy to hear any update on this.
