Windows Whiteboard; how to share whiteboards via Teams

Posted by Koop on February 8, 2023

I will honestly say, for a feature that has been in the product for over a month, none of my colleagues were aware of the feature. It didn’t take a lot of time to figure out how to use whiteboards within teams, but we have found the following ways of using it.

  1. Tab in a channel/user
    • Hit the + in the channel that you want to add the whiteboard
    • Select Whiteboard in the Add a tab option
    • Thats it 🙂
  2. Share directly in a meeting
    • During a meeting, hit share and select Whiteboard

I’ll be honest, I do not see me using the tab option very often but so far, have found using the share during a meeting option very appealing. I can see my team collaborating with the whiteboard while we are reviewing complicated networking issues. I have run this by several people and everyone was initially impressed with how powerful the whiteboard feature is.
