If you're an English native speaker, do you ever use the word "minute" as a verb¹ to mean taking notes at a meeting?

A — I do
B — I would use the word, but that context normally doesn't come up in my life
C — I would not, because that meaning is archaic

(Boosts appreciated.)

¹ Emphasis on "as a verb". An example sentence would be to say "could you join us to minute the conversation?"

yes it's a verb, as any dictionary should indicate. Not archaic yet.

But, it's taking an official record of a meeting, usually / preferably by a secretary rather than someone involved in the content of a meeting. These are usually formally agreed as accurate at the start of the next meeting.

I wouldn't have used the term as a noun or verb about my personal notes in a meeting.
