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.

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.

Most of my coworkers still don't know how to sign-in to Office online or can't find the App Launcher.
@danquixote6072
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.
@smorales6613
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.
@endless_puns
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.
@dansternathac6487
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.
@NeilCrabbe
'Might have noticed some similarities' to Notion. That's an understatement.
@briankelly1240
Thanks for keeping us in the 'loop'!
@bmo3778
that was a rather longer explanations than I expected. but I got the info I needed. just need the day I get access to this app. thanks a lot!
@briankelly1240
Being an individual contributor, I want to use this to help share meeting notes, but concerned with getting others to use, we shall see.
@abidorigami3689
Thank you Kevin I was wondering from a long time what Microsoft loop is thank you for explaining it!!!!!!
@stephaniemiller5950
I can see Loop being very helpful to my team. However, I started a loop in Teams chat to test it out and added one of my colleagues. It tells me "You need to add at least two people to start a group chat." That is a stumbling block for a small organization. Our projects get started with one or two people and then a larger team is developed as needed.
@moodberry
Based on the thread that delta started, I agree with the comments raised about buy-in. I consider myself to be progressive in regards to tech and software, but I don't think I would use loop unless my company demanded it from me. Why? Because the entire software ecosystem would have to change so that ALL are using it. My suggestion for making it happen isn't to offer more training, or even mandates. Instead, I would have the software itself mandate its use. How you ask? By popping up a guided set of questions, like "I see you are starting a chat in Teams. Do you want a table or a chat thread? Table! OK, now, how many columns? Three! OK. How many rows? Four! Here's your table. Now, who might possibly be involved in the future with your table? (Loop presents a list of possible names and depending on your selection, it automatically sends emails inviting them in) Anyway, after the system "trains" you in how it is supposed to work, you can turn it off. I think most people want to use better tools, but changing the mind is tough by just offering more training. Change the current paradigms and expectations and people will change.
@neilprimrose8720
Loop has a long way to go before it can compete with Notion. For a start it needs to be available to all Microsoft 365 users: I cannot understand the justification for leaving all those paid subscribers "out of the loop" (ouch!). Secondly, I foresee real problems in people being able to edit each others work on the fly - the integrity of concepts will suffer in all sorts of ways. Shared responsibility is a wonderful ethic in the workplace so long as training has embedded shared leadership into the training and induction programme; unfortunately in too many organisations shared responsibility results in no-one accepting personal responsibility. If this is how the Microsoft organisation generate their projects, it explains a lot about the company's legendary glitches!
@vorbek
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.
@VicInCommentSection
Great video. As a window washer, this definitely doesn't actually change the way I work.
@SavageGothamChess
The intro got me really excited. Loop is surely gonna change how people work. Amazing thumbnail!
@RichbergEnt
I've never worked for a company that collaborated to this level. At best, we get to express ideas and opinions at a staff meeting while someone takes note of it. After that, you wait for the upper level folks to make the decissions and hand it down. Now and days, I work for myself and I implement sharing tools with clients. It was hard enough for people to trust (onedrive, google drive, dropbox, Icloud or any other cloud) pre covid. Now learning Webcam and screen sharing seems to be the new tolerance level for most people I work with now. I love the innovation, but it will be a while before it changes the way I work.
