That's dedication to video making! Talking about a new day with the sun rising. Nicely done! 😃

[@DarrellaaS]

Thank you Kevin :) It was a beautiful morning to talk about a new day with Loop. We have gotta get out more when creating content, right? Casey Neistat can't have all the fun. Though I don't know how we might work in talking about Loop while riding a Boosted Board or One-Wheel 🤣

[@KevinStratvert]

@@DarrellaaS I feel like you might have something in the works with Loop and a Boosted Board 😅

[@digitalmesh]

I love what Microsoft is doing with Loop.
Thanks for summarizing these updates.
I work in a large org and we try to keep up with all the changes, document & communicate.
Having channels lik yours really do help me in staying up to date :')

[@DarrellaaS]

Aw cheers @digitalmesh. I'm learning about this stuff just like the rest of the community. I use my channel to invite others to learn with me. That's why I value the feedback, corrections, criticisms and ideas.

[@Salvopod]

Hey, how do I embed the whiteboard? I don't see to have the option to embed this in my loop page

[@DarrellaaS]

We are still waiting for this feature to be delivered.

[@Coatsey007]

A great video, thank you. Not for the lack of trying but no matter what I did I cant add a Planner page to any Loop. Copy and paste the link does not do this. Is this actually available?

[@DarrellaaS]

Hi Coatsey. It’s definitely available. I don’t think it relies on an Office cloud policy to enable. Let me try to find out if there are any delays in rolling out.

[@Coatsey007]

@@DarrellaaS you sir are a gentleman. That would be greatly appreciated and is very classy of you to help.

[@jacoblouwsma3667]

Doesn't work for me either.

[@DarrellaaS]

Try some of the suggestions / steps in this article - support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-the-planner-component-in-loop-545e967a-7c69-4e9a-9458-dfabdcf1d752
If you still have trouble, use the ? button (bottom right corner Loop app) to share feedback directly with the Loop team. They will be interested if you have found a bug.

[@Coatsey007]

Update on my investigation, I can add a task by Planner plan to a new loop component, I just can't add one when loop has created tasks. Even if I delete that, it still won't bring in the plan properly, it's still a URL link.

Why is no one talking about the bad things about it?
- Storing personal loop files (meetings!) in the personal OneDrive and generating sharing links to it without enhanced security (and don't forget the agenda in Teams meetings not accessible for guests!), how to migrate that after an employee left the company without losing the sharing links?
- the loop app that moves away from Team as the collaboration spot confusing the end user with a different permission system (only single users)
- and many more problems that will cause chaos because of the design
I think that Microsoft is rolling out a technology without a real concept behind it that the enduser need in every day life.
PS: and don't forget that MS is ripping off "notion" very badly. ;-)
