Catch up on every meeting recap from one pinned Teams app

Step 1: Pin the Meeting Recaps app to your Teams sidebarTeams

Click the "+" at the bottom of the Teams left sidebar, search for "Meeting Recaps," and pin it — this is a one-time setup that keeps every recap one click away going forward, instead of clicking into each individual meeting in your calendar to find its recap tab.

Step 2: Review recaps for meetings you missedTeams

Use the app at a regular point in your week — end of day or start of the next morning — rather than letting recaps pile up unread.

Step 3: Flag anything that needs your direct follow-upTeams

A recap surfaces what happened; it doesn't act on your behalf — note anything that needs you to actually respond or decide.

Step 4: Archive or dismiss recaps you've acted onTeams

Keep the list to what's actually still open, so it stays a useful catch-up tool rather than an ever-growing backlog.

Check the work

• No meeting you were invited to but missed is absent from the recap list.
• Items requiring your follow-up are tracked somewhere, not just read and forgotten.
• The recap list reflects only what's genuinely still open.
