Discover Microsoft’s innovative collaboration tool, Microsoft Loop, featuring shared workspaces and portable content snippets known as Loop components. These components can be easily shared and integrated across various Microsoft 365 applications.
What sets Loop apart is its ability for multiple users to update shared components simultaneously, ensuring that the content remains synchronized regardless of where it is embedded. Whether editing a component in an Outlook email or a Teams chat, changes made by one user will reflect in both locations.
While we have an extensive guide on Microsoft Loop and using the app itself, it’s worth noting that you can leverage Loop components without installing the app. These components seamlessly integrate into several Microsoft 365 apps, allowing you to create, collaborate on, and share them within familiar applications.

What are Microsoft Loop Components?
A versatile text card or content snippet – whether in list form, paragraphs, tables or other formats - that enables real-time synchronous or asynchronous collaboration among you and your colleagues.
For instance, if you create a table within a loop component, all collaborators can collectively modify numbers or text within the table while observing changes happening instantaneously along with identifying who made those modifications.
The beauty of loop components lies in their compatibility across select Microsoft 365 applications like Outlook, Teams, and Word. Once created within one M365 app, you can seamlessly transfer the link to another M365 app for continued collaboration on the same component.
