Microsoft Loop is a collaborative workspace app from Microsoft that enables teams to create shared components, pages, and workspaces that sync across Microsoft 365 apps.
Key Features
- Loop components that can be embedded and co-edited in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, and Word
- Workspaces for organizing pages and components by project or team
- Real-time co-authoring with presence indicators
- Integration with Microsoft 365 services
- Tables, task lists, voting tables, and progress trackers as portable components
- Stored on Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft SharePoint
Enterprise Use
Microsoft Loop is positioned as Microsoft's answer to Notion and Coda, targeting organizations already in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Its unique selling point is the portability of Loop components — a table created in Loop can be embedded and edited directly inside a Teams chat or Outlook email. It is managed via Microsoft 365 admin policies.
Tips
- Use Loop components in Teams meetings to collaboratively take notes and assign tasks without switching apps.
- Loop workspaces work best for project-based collaboration with a defined team and scope.
- Check Microsoft 365 admin settings — Loop availability may need to be enabled by your IT administrator.
