Microsoft Whiteboard, in Teams, is currently a public preview. Like other previews available in the Office 365 ecosystem, there will be glitches and things that don\u2019t work properly. If something isn\u2019t working quite right, turn off the preview and verify the problem persists before reporting an issue. You can submit feedback directly to Microsoft through their UserVoice site<\/a>, but previews are not supported by Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Now that the warning bit is out of the way \u2013 we\u2019ve been using the Whiteboard for a week and the only oddity I\u2019ve encountered occurs when both a Whiteboard and desktop are shared simultaneously. You must keep minimizing the Whiteboard to view the shared desktop.<\/p>\n

How do you use a Microsoft Whiteboard in your meeting?<\/strong> When you are in a meeting, click on the \u201cSharing Tray\u201d in the meeting tool bar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the \u201cWhiteboard\u201d column, select \u201cMicrosoft Whiteboard\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A whiteboard will be opened and shared with everyone on the call. To draw on the Whiteboard, select \u201cInking mode\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click on a pen (or the eraser) along the right-hand side to select a pen color.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Draw on the screen. Click on the blue check-mark to leave inking mode. To close the whiteboard, click \u201cStop presenting\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After the meeting, how do you access the Whiteboard? Visit https:\/\/whiteboard.microsoft.com<\/a> \u2013 the Whiteboard will be stored for the person who initiated the Whiteboard in the meeting. To share it with others who had attended, click the ellipses on the Whiteboard preview.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Select \u201cInvite\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Select \u201cCreate sharing link\u201d and paste the link into the Teams meeting chat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Team members can use the link to view the Whiteboard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whiteboards from Teams meetings are also available through the Whiteboard app. The app expands on the basic Whiteboard functionality available in Teams or online. In the app, you can select text ink and convert it to more readable text. Use the lasso tool to select a region of text ink.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on the magic wand<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Voila, more legible text!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click the hamburger menu in the upper right-hand corner of the screen for additional options — including “Export” which will create a PNG or SVG image from your Whiteboard data.<\/p>\n
