Meeting notes tab missing?

I created a channel, and posted a meeting to it.  I expected a meeting notes tab to appear.  I joined the meeting and created a conversation with participants, and still the tab has not appeared.  HOW do I create meeting notes tab, and why does it seem inconsistent?  In another Team, the meeting notes seem to work automatically.

  • I had exactly the same issue as described. When I go via Calender to a meeting where I am an organizer I have no option for the meeting notes. Since I was able to create meeting notes in some occasions I search using search bar and the I found a work around.
    From left side bar with options like (Get Start, Activity, Chat, Teams, Calender, Calls ....)

    select "Chat" then

    Search for the meeting in Chat Recent (it is order by time and has calender symbol)

    Click on the meeting and I had success, now I was able to create the meeting notes since the tab for meeting notes is now available.

    I was in the same organization as the organizer and or I was the organizer. The meeting had less than 20 participants.

    I hope it works for you also.

    After this works you can go Calender, Select the meeting, if meeting is open, select chat and then you will see the meeting notes

    So - no ready solutions - is there a way to escalate this for assistance?

      Hi Tamara,

      Doesn’t look like it at this point. We’ve been through a few ways to activate it and these don’t appear to do anything.

      At this point, I would consider raising a ticket through the Microsoft 365 Admin Centre. We’ll all be interested in the root cause once it has been fixed by Microsoft.

      Hope that answers your question

      Best, Chris

    Under Channels, there isn't a Notes tab, but there is a Wiki tab.  Similar format.

     

    Under Meetings there is a Notes tab, but to get to it, go in before the meeting occurs and click on the Notes tab.  Update some of the info, even with placeholders.  During the meeting you can access Notes, Files, Whiteboard.

     

    If there are more than <> (15 or 25, number not confirmed) meeting attendees, the Notes (and other tabs) will not show during the meeting, without setting up before.

    Tamara_B-W  - did you ever get an answer?  I have the exact same problem - if I create a meeting without attaching it to a channel, I have a meeting notes tab.  When I attach it to a channel - it disappears.

      Dear Team,

      Please help the last one month we are managing the meeting notes on a daily basis in the meeting tab.  Suddenly the meeting tab is missing from today and I am not getting any way to get it back.  Please help us to get it back...

      Cielica  were you able to resolve this problem? Three years later I have exactly the same issue - meeting notes section disappears as soon as I select channel for the meeting.

  • The meeting notes tab gets created the first time a channel meeting is created and you press the meeting notes button

      Thank you.  The meeting notes tab was not created, and there is no meeting notes button.

      • So if you click ... during the meeting on the meetings panel, there is not meeting notes option?

      I read on the Microsoft page that TEAM's meetings created from a channel where a meeting has not yet occurred in the channel cannot have meeting notes until a meeting has occurred.  I got around this by starting a meeting with myself within the Team channel, starting some meeting notes then leaving the meeting.

        LPalmer Hi, I'm trying to find the source of this information (that meeting notes only appear after meeting is started). Do you have it by any chance?

      ChrisHoardMVP  We have the Meeting Notes tab in some channels but not others, and I can't figure out how to add it.  We don't have a "meeting notes" button in the meeting or calendar like some have mentioned in other reply's in this thread, seems strange why it is in some channels but not others??
