# What is a template A template in MeetingTrack is a reusable meeting structure. Templates are ideal for recurring meeting types such as team updates, management meetings, or project check-ins. ## What a template can include A template can contain: - A fixed agenda/minutes structure (main level, topic level, decision/task level) - Default meeting time (from/to) - Settings like private/public - Optional Microsoft settings (Outlook invitation and Teams link) - Attachments you want to reuse ## Why use templates - You save time when creating meetings - You keep a consistent structure across teams - You reduce the chance of missing recurring agenda items - You can start minute-taking immediately ## When not to use a template A template is less useful when: - Every meeting has a completely different structure - You only have a one-time discussion - Your agenda format is still unclear or changing frequently In those cases, create a regular meeting and build the agenda manually. ### See also [[01.
