Summarize Teams meeting recordings into decisions and owners

SC
Sarah Chen · Senior Project Manager
Last reviewed 2025-03-22

The problem

Cross-functional project meetings produce 60–90 min recordings; nobody re-watches them, decisions get lost.

Business context

Decision traceability is required for audit-sensitive projects (e.g. pension admin platform changes).

The solution

Copilot in Teams generates the recap, then a follow-up prompt extracts decisions and owners into a Loop component pinned in the channel.

Outcome & impact

Time saved
~3 hours per PM per week
Outcome
Project managers report 30% fewer 'what did we decide?' follow-ups.

Reusable assets

Prompt
From this meeting transcript, extract: 1) Decisions made (with rationale), 2) Action items (with owner + due date), 3) Open questions. Ignore small talk.
