Microsoft Whiteboard is the online, inter active whiteboard app that lets you collaborate, share ideas and brainstorm in real-time via Microsoft Teams.
One of the next things we wondered was, what is the Windows 10 Whiteboard app?
The Microsoft Windows 10 Whiteboard app is fully integrated with the operating system and many of its most important features, such as cloud storage and collaboration, are dependent on an active Microsoft account. This tutorial shows you how to access Microsoft Whiteboard and how to share your whiteboard creations with others.
What is Microsoft whiteboard and is it free?
Microsoft Whiteboard is a free app intended to re-create this experience. Nothing beats the real thing, of course. However, a digital whiteboard might allow you to do more than you can on a physical board.
Today, we are gradually rolling out the Microsoft Whiteboard Preview app — a freeform digital canvas where people, ideas, and content can come together for creative collaboration—available for download on Windows 10 devices .*.
This of course begs the inquiry “What is the new Microsoft whiteboard experience?”
To help people thrive in a more flexible work environment, we have reimagined the Whiteboard experience to help our customers collaborate, wherever and whenever. Today we’re excited to announce a completely new Microsoft Whiteboard, the visual collaboration workspace in Microsoft 365, designed for hybrid work.
Whiteboard integration in Microsoft Teams meetings is powered by Whiteboard for the web, which lets participants of Teams meetings draw, sketch, and write together on a shared digital canvas. For details about Whiteboard integration with Teams, see Use Whiteboard in Microsoft Teams.
How do I start using Whiteboard on Windows 10?

All your whiteboards are automatically and securely saved in Microsoft Azure, and they’re accessible from your account in the Windows 11 app, i. OS app, Microsoft Teams, or on the web. Learn more about where your Microsoft 365 customer data is stored .
When we were writing we ran into the query “What account do I need to use the whiteboard for the web?”.
The most common answer is: to use the Whiteboard for the web, you must sign in with a Microsoft 365 account (work or school). How do I enable or disable Whiteboard for my organization?
Is whiteboard the same as working in the office?
It’s not the same as working in the office, but it offers a lot of the benefits, and fewer of the drawbacks. The Whiteboard app is available for Windows, i. Phone, and i, and pad. You’ll need a free Microsoft account or a paid M365/O365 subscription to use it.
A whiteboard can help increase productivity as it allows users to easily draw processes with different shapes and colors. A virtual whiteboard further increases productivity as a user can easily copy or remove parts of the whiteboard and even save the file for future use.
Nothing beats the real thing, of course. However, a digital whiteboard might allow you to do more than you can on a physical board. Microsoft grasped this possibility and provides templates, as well as allowing you to add images and documents.
