You can create action items using your voice or manually. To create an action item by voice, you can say the "Action Item" command followed by the task and you can optionally include an assignee and due date. For example, if you say "Action Item I will water the garden tomorrow" it will create a new task as described which is assigned to you and is due at tomorrow's date.
You can also create and edit action items manually from the meeting page or the Microsoft Teams sidebar.
