Microsoft Teams offers several native AI note-taking features. <\/span><b>Teams Premium<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes Intelligent Recap, which can generate meeting notes, follow-up tasks, speaker insights, and personalised highlights after a transcribed meeting. <\/span><b>Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adds broader AI assistance, including the ability to ask questions about a meeting and work with that context across Microsoft 365.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft also offers <\/span><b>Facilitator<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a Copilot-powered meeting agent that creates AI notes in real time, tracks decisions and open questions, and helps teams manage meeting agendas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Teams&#8217; Native AI Notes Do Well<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest advantage is <\/span><b>deep Microsoft integration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Recaps, transcripts, AI-generated notes, tasks, and speaker information stay inside Teams, while Copilot can connect meeting context with other Microsoft 365 workflows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For organisations already standardised on Microsoft tools, that creates a streamlined experience without adding another meeting app.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where Teams&#8217; Native AI Notes Fall Short<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Advanced AI features require additional licensing.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Intelligent Recap is available through Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot, while Facilitator requires Copilot access. Teams Premium itself is an add-on to an existing Teams licence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The workflow is Microsoft-centric.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Native Teams AI features are designed around Teams meetings, so they do not provide the same cross-platform capture for Zoom or Google Meet calls.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AI summaries depend on transcription.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Microsoft requires meetings to be transcribed for AI-generated summaries and notes, and some recap features also depend on the meeting type and duration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For teams that work primarily in Microsoft 365, the native experience can be a strong choice. But if your meetings span multiple platforms or you want <\/span><b>bot-free capture, broader integrations, or a separate AI note-taking workflow<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a third-party tool may offer more flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 7 Best AI Note Takers for Microsoft Teams\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

Microsoft Teams offers AI-generated meeting notes through Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot, both of which require paid licences. Standard Teams can provide a transcript but not a full AI-generated recap.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_item\">\n<div class=\"faq_title text_body--md text--semi-bold\"><strong>Do I need a Copilot licence for AI notes in Teams?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_answer text_body--md\">Not necessarily. Microsoft\u2019s native AI recap requires Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot, but third-party tools such as Krisp can generate AI meeting notes without either licence.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_item\">\n<div class=\"faq_title text_body--md text--semi-bold\"><strong>How much does Microsoft 365 Copilot cost?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_answer text_body--md\">Microsoft 365 Copilot costs around $30 per user per month with an annual commitment, in addition to an eligible Microsoft 365 subscription. A third-party AI note taker may therefore be more affordable for teams that primarily need meeting transcription and summaries.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_item\">\n<div class=\"faq_title text_body--md text--semi-bold\"><strong>What\u2019s the best free AI note taker for Microsoft Teams?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_answer text_body--md\">Fathom offers one of the most generous free plans. Krisp\u2019s free plan is a strong option if you also need bot-free, cross-platform capture without depending on a Copilot licence.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_item\">\n<div class=\"faq_title text_body--md text--semi-bold\"><strong>Can you take AI notes in Teams without a bot joining?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_answer text_body--md\">Yes. Krisp captures Teams meetings without sending a bot, while Tactiq runs in the browser without appearing as a separate participant. Many other AI note takers use bots that join the meeting.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_item\">\n<div class=\"faq_title text_body--md text--semi-bold\"><strong>Can Fireflies or Otter work with Microsoft Teams?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_answer text_body--md\">Yes. Fireflies and Otter both support Microsoft Teams by sending a bot to join and capture the meeting. Neither requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_item\">\n<div class=\"faq_title text_body--md text--semi-bold\"><strong>Is Teams Premium the same as Microsoft 365 Copilot?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq_answer text_body--md\">No. Teams Premium adds advanced meeting capabilities, including intelligent recap, while Microsoft 365 Copilot is a broader AI assistant that also works across applications such as Word, Outlook, Excel, and Teams.
