Now in Public preview & Targeted release: Collaborative meeting notes in Teams meetings

Emily Kirby 

Your article indicates that this is only in "Public Preview" but we have Preview Features turned off for all of our users and this function is available. So, I think this is in general availability now. Which brings me to the biggest issue for us:

"Known issues: External and guest participants can’t access meeting notes before or during the meeting."

I'm shocked that you all would roll out a "Collaborative" Meeting Notes function that isn't accessible by *everyone* in the meeting! This really isn't okay. The new "Collaborative Meeting Notes" are less collaborative than they were before. These features are all welcomed when they include everyone, but shouldn't leave the Insiders or Public Preview channel until they work for everyone! And, when you roll out half-baked features and they "don't work," you miss opportunities for user adoption, especially when the user is embarrassed on a call with an external partner. You actually erode their trust in Microsoft products. I've already had multiple users raise this to me and I've suggested that they use OneNote since we cannot rely on Loop or Teams product developers to resolve these issues in a timely manner.
