Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! My name is Daniel Gomez and I’m a Principal Software Engineering Manager on the Planner team. I’m excited to share what we’ve been working on for the last year with our Loop partners. Now, you can render Planner plans in Loop by pasting the plan URL directly into any Loop page.
Keep your Planners inside the Loop for the web
If you’re actively using tasks.office.com (Planner), you can bring all your existing Planner board views into your Loop workspaces. You can copy and paste Planner links into your emails, whiteboards, Teams channels and chats, and start collaborating from there.
We’ll introduce new features like recurring tasks and new views to enhance your experience over time. We love your feedback, so send in your requests!
How it works
1. In the address bar in your browser, type tasks.office.com.
2. Open an existing plan in Planner for web or create one.
3. Copy the link to the plan from the address bar.
4. Open another browser window and copy and paste the link, loop.microsoft.com.
5. Open or create a workspace.
NOTE: To learn about Loop, visit Get started with Microsoft Loop – Microsoft Support.
6. Open an existing page or create one by clicking the Add a page or link button in the left pane, and then clicking New page.
7. Paste the copied link from step 3 above into the Loop page body.
