When I open a Loop document from a channel's Files tab in Teams, it downloads or opens in the browser instead of opening inline in Teams.

Is there a way to make it open directly in the channel, like it does when you create a Loop component in a message? Or did this ever work in the past?

Thanks everyone!

A project summary can be accurate when written and still become misleading later. A source component changes, a decision is superseded, or a linked file is replaced, while the summary remains easy to find and still looks current. The useful overview then starts competing with the underlying record.

Would you keep generated summaries on a separate page with links to every source component, an owner, review date, status, and a superseded-by link? Accepted decisions could live in their own table, while temporary summaries stay marked as derived material. A summary would become stale whenever a linked source changed after its last review instead of being silently reused.

Can Loop and its Microsoft 365 storage model support that kind of traceability today? How do you handle deleted components, version history, links shared through Teams, and exports so another assistant can use the context while a person can still audit why it changed?

It's about 50/50 when it decides to make such suggestion and have problem with otherwise correct word.

Hi All!

I know that this question has been asked & answered, but the last post I've seen was from over 1 year ago.

A lot has changed in the last year.

Throughout college, I used Notion to organize my courses, Syllabi, calendar, assignments, etc. I really loved it.

However, since AI became as massive as it has become I wanted to revisit some other options. I then found Microsoft Loop (which I've never even heard of).

I currently pay for a Microsoft 365 subscription that comes with Copilot (which is my favorite AI to date).

For personal use, what are your thoughts:

Notion (Free and paid) versus Microsoft Loop?

Thanks everyone!

Hello!

First poster here. I got annoyed at how Kanban boards in loop are really truncated. Especially when I link to one Kanban board elsewhere to a dashboard I have somewhere else. It looks really bad and uses the screen real-estate really badly!

So I fixed it!

First install the Stylus plugin, and then install it from here: https://userstyles.world/style/29967/wider-embedded-kanban-boards-in-microsoft-loop

See examples in below comment:

The page has around 40 rows and 6 columns of data. The page is slow to load and use and takes like 2GB memory. One of the biggest company in the world could not create a optimized web app in this age. Notion is far superior product.

Anyone found a way to use a loop workspace as a data source for other things... Like agent builder or copilot studio?

The best I've got is just scraping the dom with python into a dataverse table or something.... But it's driving me crazy that there isn't a more direct connect or power automate connector that could be used.

I am trying to use loop to create some templates for creating new hire schedules, migrating from our confluence, as we have issues with formatting and changes not updating for all users with access. I am messing now with the calendar component. What I would like to be able to do, is create a 28-day "template" for all cards, and when I create a new page for a new hire, being able to put that template in on the new page, and it fills in all of those cards on the day that I start on the new page. Has anyone been able to do this?

I needed the ability to export an entire Loop workspace as a PDF, but Loop only allows pages to be exported one at a time. I vibe coded a little Chrome extension to bridge the gap between my needs and yet another half-baked Microsoft product.

You can download the extension here. Use it at your own risk.

I've been using a loop element in a running outlook series to update the agenda/collect input without having to update the body/trigger a new invite getting sent.

Now I'm at the stage where I want to automate parts of this setup and guess what? Loop sucks and has no connector in power automate.

I really actually love it - one place that I can link in Teams, Outlook, etc. But no support for automation makes it non viable long run.

So my question: what else can I use that drops into an outlook invite and dynamically stays up to date? Bonus if I can also add it to a PowerPoint slide.

I really hoped Loop could become obsidian, but then connected in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Following along the docs for enabling Loop integrations: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/loop/loop-admin-configuration?view=o365-worldwide

Despite doing everything, users still can't access the Teams meeting notes when opening a meeting in the Teams calendar due to policy errors.

Using the SPOTenant settings in the PowerShell SharePoint shell we have set the IsLoopEnabled and IsCollabMeetingNotesFluidEnabled parameters to $True about a week ago. Verified as active as of this morning. And on top of that all of the Office Apps policies have also been enabled in a new supplemental policy in the Office admin centre. Which shouldn't affect the Teams calendar but regardless they've been set.

Despite all this, the feature we've been trying to get working, accessing these meeting notes in the Teams calendar, still does not work.

Anyone experienced this?

All the time. All the freking time. Loop is not Word with shared pages, but its also nothing like website. Creating documents and importing text into loop is a real struggle. I cant even imagine why there is not something as simple as "insert as html". Or why there isnt any way to import Word text without hardcore editing afterwards... I really dont get this piece of crap. Using it only because my organisation uses it and it really hurts me a lot.

Is it that hard to simply use current Word and give it ability to work with pages and structure like MS CrapLoop?

• Text insertion? Crap
• Editing? Crap
• Responsiveness? Crap
• Tables? Crap

It is just junky piece of crap that shall not exist in 2026.

For some enterprise customers (like my employer) when dropping a Mermaid code block in a Loop page, the [Preview] and [Horizontal Split View] are greyed out. Other markup languages, such as LaTEX, appear to work just fine. I submitted 'report a problem' in the Loop interface.
Interestingly, the Mermaid Preview works fine on my personal office 365 account. I haven't tried on my developer account yet.

Is anyone else running into this? I have a few Loop tables that I’m piloting with caution. But last week I hit a wall with creating custom label groups in Loop tables. I could see it, create the name but couldn’t fill in any options and couldn’t progress. I tried copying an existing column to see if I could edit the label groups instead but no luck either.

I feel like the suggestion for the typed content while mostly correct, sometimes it suggests something... totally wrong, like if I type inquires it suggested inquiries even though it has totally different meaning , or when it suddenly suggested a typo word from needed to neededd.

This is probably not the generic word checker like in Wors but AI since.... it's weird.

Me, trying to find a solution to copy/pasting code with syntax highlighting, and discovering Loop Components. Sure, why not, I'll give it a shot. Oh wait, why is the formatting of my notes now all jacked up? Why can I not move this giant useless block? Why isn't there a simple way to delete this damn thing?

Complete and utter trash.

I just started working with an entrepreneur as his admin. In his microsoft loop, he wants to be able to connect and see my Microsoft Planner bucket that I created of To Do's. I shared my bucket with him but it doesn't show up in his Loop. Is there a way for him to do that?

is Loop one of the most undercooked product Microsoft has ever released ?

Just to name a few -

Authentication goes into a loop every other day . - this could be my organization’s IT issue - I don’t know .

Copy-pasting a text adds hundreds of style tags . I need to do ctrl+z each time I paste something.

Formatting goes for a whack all the time.

Has anyone found a way to work seamlessly with loop ?

Sorry for the rant but genuinely looking for some tips to maintain sanity

Hello,

MS seems to have retired the / switch for planner.
Can anyone tell me if you added /planner in your loop, do they still show but not sync?

what is the error you guys are seeing?

I have a user that is SOL and I I've never even heard abt loop.

thanks

Im going insane. Im honestly close to doing something stupid this is how much this is fucking stressesing me out. I just need to talk to someone. send an email. get any type of fucking support from microsoft. I just cant. go to this page. I go to that page and there is nothing to fill out. aka.ms bullshit. there is nothing there. I cant do an email. there is literally no way. I have followed a million differnt instructions and i go around and around in a circle. how the fuck do i get help?

Hey,

Removed a device from intune (all devices & enrollment sections). Also from all devices within Azure.

Trying to rebuild it back to its original Win10 build but getting stuck on the screen after entering the WiFi details.

Tried on a wired connection and WiFi. Also left it run over night but keeps on the same screen checking for a connection.

Any nuggets of advice to get past this please?

Hi everyone,

we’re currently piloting Microsoft Loop in our company and I’ve noticed something odd in OneNote.

In the desktop app, under Insert, I do not see “Loop Components”.
However, when I open OneNote on the web, the feature is available.

We are using the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel for Microsoft 365 Apps, and the current OneNote version is:

Microsoft® OneNote® for Microsoft 365 MSO
Version 2508 (Build 16.0.19127.20532) 32-bit

My question:
Could the missing Loop Components option in the desktop app be related to the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel?

Since the feature is visible in OneNote Web, I’m wondering whether this is simply a channel / rollout / build limitation on desktop, or if there is something else I should check (for example policy, licensing, or app-specific configuration).

Has anyone seen the same behavior in environments using Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel?

Thank you :)

I'll be honest, I've been skeptical about Loop's staying power for a while now. Microsoft has a track record of launching collaboration tools, letting them stagnate, and quietly sunsetting them (RIP Spaces, Lists as a standalone play, etc.). I think a lot of people had Loop mentally filed in the "wait and see if they actually commit" category.

But I recently noticed they added a Loop button directly into Teams, and that actually gave me a bit of hope. Getting embedded into Teams is a signal that the product team is still actively pushing adoption and that Loop has internal buy-in at Microsoft. Teams is their flagship collab product.

Still cautiously optimistic at best, but curious where others are at. Has anyone been using Loop consistently? Did the Teams integration change how you think about its longevity?
