Scheduling a meeting for a group - OneNote meeting notes
When I schedule a meeting for an Office 365 group with Outlook 2016 desktop, I want to include/associate meeting notes in OneNote. I assumed that clicking on the OneNote icon in the meeting request ribbon would allow me to specify the notebook associated with the group - but it doesn't. In fact, the notebook with the group isn't even accessible as a choice in which to create the notes.
As it turns out, this is a new group and a new notebook which has never been used before, and I find that I have to open it locally in OneNote desktop first before it is ever seen as a choice of target notebooks in my group meetings. This doesn't seem right - and is confusing the heck out of my users who are just now getting into using O365 groups. Can anyone confirm/validate that this is what they are seeing as well. The workaround is obvious - but very inconvenient.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi there,
a workaround is inserting Meeting Details directly from the OneNote page you want to use for the notes, see here.
This is possible also through Teams, as basically it's OneNote Online. A deeper integration would be obviously better; here some related UserVoice feedback you can vote:

I noticed the same thing the other day when demoing OneNote with a newly created Office 365 Group.
I am also curious that when you click the OneNote icon on the Outlook meeting toolbar as to how it knows to present the second option "Share notes with this meeting occurence".
