Floating sticky notes over Microsoft Teams
Teams meeting windows are usually maximised, and the Teams meeting notes feature stores content in Microsoft 365. If you'd rather keep private notes on your own device, open a floating note from Edge or Chrome — it stays above the Teams window while you talk.

Open floating notes — free →How to do it
- Open the app in Edge or Chrome 116+.
- Write your points for the meeting, one per line or as a checklist.
- Press the pop-out button to float the note.
- Join the Teams meeting; the note stays above the Teams window.
- Capture decisions and owners during the call, then export to markdown or paste into your tracker.
Tips
- Edge is already installed on Windows, so it's the quickest way to get the floating window on a work PC.
- Your company may restrict browser features or extensions; this app needs no extension, just a modern Edge/Chrome.
- Keep sensitive customer data out of any notes tool your company hasn't approved — local storage is private, but policy still applies.
FAQ
Is this different from Teams' own meeting notes?
Yes. Teams notes are stored in Microsoft 365 and shared with attendees. These notes are private and stored only in your browser.
Does it work with the new Teams app?
Yes — the floating note is an independent browser window, so it doesn't depend on which Teams client you use.
Can I share the notes with attendees afterwards?
Export the note as a .md file or copy the text and paste it into chat or email. There are no share links, by design.
