Granola Adds Microsoft Sign-In to Bring AI Meeting Notes to Outlook and Teams Users.

Granola has launched Microsoft sign-in support, opening its AI-powered meeting notes platform to users who work primarily within the Microsoft ecosystem. The update allows anyone with a Microsoft account to connect Granola directly to their Outlook calendar and Teams meetings without additional configuration.

The company announced the feature on January 15, describing it as a natural expansion for a tool designed to serve people in back-to-back meetings. Until now, Granola users had to connect their accounts through other authentication methods, creating friction for organizations standardized on Microsoft's productivity suite.

Once users sign in with their Microsoft credentials, Granola automatically syncs with their Outlook calendar. Meeting schedules appear in the app without manual input, and Teams calls connect seamlessly during active meetings. This mirrors the experience Granola already provides for Google Calendar and Meet users.

The integration follows a series of workflow improvements the company has shipped in recent weeks. Granola recently added checklist features that convert meeting notes into trackable action items, and introduced custom jargon support to improve transcription accuracy for industry-specific terminology.

For teams already using Microsoft tools, the new authentication option removes a barrier to adoption. Instead of managing separate login credentials or connecting third-party calendar services, users can authenticate once and access all their meeting data directly.

The Microsoft sign-in capability positions Granola to reach a larger share of enterprise users who rely on Outlook and Teams for daily communication. Many organizations enforce strict authentication policies that favor native Microsoft integration, making alternative sign-in methods a practical necessity for B2B tools.

Granola's approach to meeting notes centers on capturing context without requiring users to switch between apps. The tool listens to meetings, generates structured notes, and integrates with workflows like HeyGen for video creation and Recipe workflows for converting transcripts into help documentation. By supporting Microsoft authentication, the company extends this functionality to users who previously couldn't access it without workarounds.

The feature is available now for all Granola users. Existing users who prefer Microsoft authentication can switch their sign-in method, while new users can create accounts directly through the Microsoft option.
