What is Microsoft Loop?

About Loop

Microsoft Loop is a collaborative workspace application designed by Microsoft to enable dynamic and real-time collaboration among team members.

It integrates various Microsoft 365 tools and services into flexible, modular components, making it easier to work together on projects, share ideas, and manage tasks seamlessly – all within the Microsoft ecosystem.

What is Loop?

Microsoft Loop brings everything related to a project to one space, making it easier to find exactly what you need.

You can link all sorts of elements and files, including documents, PowerPoints, spreadsheets and tables.

Loop also links with Microsoft Planner, so you can manage tasks and deadlines from within the platform.

Microsoft 365 Integration

As Loop fully integrates with 365, you can edit files from within Microsoft Loop or the respective app for each file i.e. Word/PowerPoint or Excel.

Because Loop is included as part of Microsoft 365, it can save you money and time paying and switching between different task management tools and software.

Microsoft 365 Integration

Loop can be used to manage any project. In fact, Microsoft has lots of pre-made templates, allowing you to jump into using Loop even quicker.

In addition, Loop can be used for brainstorming, note taking, decision making and creating Wiki/knowledge bases.
