What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Updated March 30, 2026: Chat Notes respect data residency at creation time based on the chat creator’s Preferred Data Location (PDL). If no PDL is set, Chat Notes are stored in the tenant’s central or default regional location. If the creator’s PDL changes later, the associated Chat Note is not automatically migrated, even though the chat data may move. Microsoft is aware of this limitation and is working to address it.

Introduction

We’re introducing Teams Collaborative Notes (powered by Loop) in group chats across desktop and web experiences. This feature enables users to co-create and edit notes, agendas, and action items directly within the Teams chat interface, enhancing real-time collaboration without switching contexts.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 498159.

When this will happen

  • Targeted Release: Rollout begins late September (previously early September) and completes by late October 2025 (previously early October).
  • General Availability: Rollout begins early November 2025 (previously early October) and completes by end of January 2026 (previously mid-November 2025).

How this affects your organization

Users will see a new Notes tab in group chats, allowing them to create and collaborate on Loop components such as agendas and action items. These components are editable inline, supporting synchronous collaboration directly within Teams.

This feature is on by default for all tenants. Users do not need to install anything to begin using it.

What you can do to prepare

  • You can manage this feature via the Teams Admin Center. If desired, Collaborative Notes can be disabled at the tenant level.
  • Review internal documentation and training materials to ensure users are aware of the new Notes tab and its capabilities.
  • Admins can manage the feature via the Teams Admin Center under: Messaging → Messaging Settings → Messaging Notes
    • Alternatively, it can be configured using the PowerShell cmdlet: Set-CsTeamsMessagingConfiguration

Compliance considerations

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
