# Meetings MOC
Meetings are timestamped events with other people, where information is exchanged and collected. Meeting notes are intrinsically ephemeral. They're stored in a separate Space than other Umami notes (`Timestamps/Meetings`) and rarely reviewed. If there's information in a meeting that needs to be accessed later, it should be moved into a more evergreen note in the Umami folder.
**Template:** [[Template, Meeting]]
```meta-bind-button
label: New Meeting
hidden: false
class: ""
tooltip: ""
id: ""
style: default
actions:
- type: templaterCreateNote
templateFile: Extras/Templates/Template, Meeting.md
folderPath: Timestamps/Meetings
fileName: TKTK
openNote: true
```
## Meeting Notes
```dataview
TABLE file.cday as Created, summary
FROM "Timestamps/Meetings" and -#MOC
SORT file.cday DESC
```

Hi dannberg,

It creates the template when I click the button in the MOC, but it always physically moves the template and renames it??
I would have assumed it was a copy operation...
When I create a new note from the template using the command palette, it works as it should.
Any ideas?

@marcmauger It looks like there's a bug with the Buttons plugin. Hopefully there's a fix soon, but others have found success swapping it out with Meta Bind.

I haven't tried it myself, but there are more details in a conversation in the comments of my Meeting Note template gist.

I just updated the original tutorial post to use the Meta Bind plugin rather than Buttons. If anyone here was having issues with creating new meeting notes via the button, this should solve it. https://dannb.org/blog/2023/obsidian-meeting-note-template/

Also, in case anyone prefers to learn via video, I just turned this post into a YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Ud16HOQoS5Q
