Automatic posting of Skype Meeting attendance in OneNote with imported Meeting Details
I discovered in a recent meeting that when a coworker imports meeting details into OneNote so she can take notes, the participants automatically get checked off as in attendance when they join the Skype meeting. Unexpected attendees not in the original invitation even get added to the previously imported Meeting Details and get checked off as in attendance when they join the Skype meeting. This is a great feature but we only observe it with this one user and only when she is sharing at the time the participants join. Does anyone know how to activate it for all our users? Our process is to create a new page in OneNote, and then use the Meeting Details on the toolbar to bring in the specifics including the invitees.,

This is a great feature that I love. But it appears to have been taken away when using "OneNote for Windows" (sometimes just called "OneNote") versus "OneNote 2016".
Does anyone know how to get it to work in OneNote for Windows?
MS has moved this functionality from Outlook to Onenote itself (I'm referring to the UWP version) - if you open a new page in the relevant section, you can select "Insert" / "Meeting details" and then chose the relevant meeting from the right hand side window. You can change the day (by default it displays today's date) and then Onenote will display the meetings from your Outlook calendar.
It was always a part of OneNote ...the issue is that it's been removed from One for Windows. All you can do it add it the first time, you can't update the meeting details once it's been added to the OneNote page. Plus it doesn't give you the checkboxes to indicate if an invitee actually attended the meeting.
- You shouldn't be limited to only having the one person be able to do it, or even have them share it.
Any person should be able to within a OneNote page press that button the add the meeting details - so in theory every person in the meeting can do this.
You can actually do it multiple times per page, so if you have multiple meetings about the same topic they can all be "logged" in that one page.
