Microsoft Loop Explained: this will change how you work

As great as this is, people barely even know that it's possible to collaborate in office, let alone something this advanced. Microsoft needs to convey these things to consumers

Most of my coworkers still don't know how to sign-in to Office online or can't find the App Launcher.

Our data and technology expert in our organization has been sharing your videos with us for over two years. I am sorry that I’m just seriously watching them. You have explained Microsoft 365 so wonderfully, and I love your examples that you use with your Kevin cookie company. It makes it so realistic and doable. Thank you for these great instructional videos.

I wish Microsoft wouldn't restrict access to only those with a work or school Microsoft account / email. They do the same with Power BI. As a 365 subscriber, it feels like those of us who don't work at big organisations are being deliberately sidelined.

Honestly, as a part time admin of a sharepoint farm that grew to 3TB, creation was never the problem, nor was editing. It almost always came down to confidence of the person to make integrated and not isolated change. Save as instead of save over. It's a nice idea but it'll put the fear of god into people in a business environment where they'll now feel that every word they type, even a rough sketch, is automatically being judged in real time.

Concept is definitely game changing. I'm always skeptical as to how much game changing people are willing to embrace. Looking forward to trying it out.

It seems like the product journey isn't clear and so fragmented with all of these tools. This is why Google Work is used so much, because it is fit for modern collaborative work and not overloaded and pretty clear which tools fulfill each task. The capabilities could have been integrated into OneNote without creating yet another tool. Microsoft really needs to simplify, reduce and focus.

Great video and a really cool concept but I’m skeptical as to how a thing like that would be used in real life. It seems a bit overwhelming and I’m already struggling with colleagues who don’t even know how to write comments or use track changes in shared documents. This also seems to be a bit less transparent about who has access to which specific loop elements, which could be problematic if you’re working on something confidential or otherwise sensitive where different team members require access to different bits of information.

Thank you sir for this valuable information that has been hiding in my plain sight. Although you are the second person I have watched present information on Microsoft Loop; the first person left me, well, in a loop, as to what Loop was. Thank you so much for the clarity and wishing you well as your channel continues to grow. God bless

'Might have noticed some similarities' to Notion. That's an understatement.

Great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Good thing is you can save this in one-drive, since the issue in MS Teams is, there is a retention of convo, so if you missed to save the data, you will also missed it in your chat conversation. Looking forward when will be this included in Outlook. Thank you 😊

Thanks for keeping us in the 'loop'!

Thank you, Kevin! We are so excited about Loop, and it has already made a huge positive impact on our collaboration both internally and externally. My Team has learned so much from your content!

Being an individual contributor, I want to use this to help share meeting notes, but concerned with getting others to use, we shall see.

Thank you Kevin I was wondering from a long time what Microsoft loop is thank you for explaining it!!!!!!

I have been enjoying your videos - learning about the many office 365 tools I do not know much about. Your videos are a good length, informative, and well explained - Given your Microsoft history - I would love to see you do a video on setting up, managing, and living with 2 different Microsoft accounts (personal and work) including 2 office 365 on one computer. So far I have not seen anything that has helped me yet.

Loop is a great tool for online teaching with MS Teams. My students really enjoy using it to review and practice structures for writing topics and vocabulary activities. Having an open format means students can peer check and correct each other, and I can also see who participated in the activity during and after the session. It works really smoothly on a mobile device, I am planning to use it for in-person classes in this way in the future so we work live on an activity, it's really motivating for students to see the results of their collaboration. So much better than Whiteboard, which often doesn't work well for students on slow networks or on a small screen. It would be great to have this available in Zoom in the future.

Great video, Kevin! I think Loop looks interesting and going to try and incorporate it into some projects I'm working on. I really like the integration with Outlook and OneNote too! I guess my only worry is that as the components are stored in the person who starts the Loops' OneDrive - what happens if that person leaves the company? The access to this Loop will be gone would be my guess which wouldn't be ideal if you are mid-project and have a large-ish Loop a lot of folks are collaborating on.

Really slick stuff, Kevin. Great overview! I work a lot with other team members, and I can totally see this changing how we collaborate.

The intro got me really excited. Loop is surely gonna change how people work. Amazing thumbnail!
