Windows 10: Microsoft Whiteboard in Teams Adds Sticky Notes and Text, Performance

Brink · Aug 5, 2020

Whether youâre working remotely or in the office, your team can use Whiteboard to run effective meetings, brainstorm, plan and think creatively.

Weâre excited to announce that some of the most loved Microsoft Whiteboard features on Windows 10 and iOS are now available to use in Teams and Whiteboard on the Web.

These new features make it easier than ever to keep the creative process moving forward virtually with your team or class.

Letâs go through each of these features to give you a better understanding of the use cases for both Enterprise and Education.

Sticky notes

Sticky notes let you quickly add ideas and feedback to the canvas, especially if youâre using a device without a digital pen.

Sticky notes can be added through the toolbar or by right-clicking on the canvas to insert one in a specific place.

Text

Text objects are a great way to add structure to the canvas, such as adding an agenda or details.

Text objects can be added through the toolbar or by right-clicking on the canvas to insert one in a specific place.

Select and move objects

You can move and re-order objects when organizing ideas, tasks or other content on the canvas.

Whiteboardâs Improved Performance

To support these new capabilities the Whiteboard web app has been completely rebuilt and is now faster than ever. This new foundation will allow us to bring more capabilities to Teams and the web, like the ones offered today on Windows 10 and iOS. And you can use the Whiteboard web app on any of your devices including PCs, Macs, Android and iOS devices by visiting http://whiteboard.microsoft.com.

Now letâs put it all together and go through some use cases across school and work:

Educational Institutions: Real-time visual collaboration in online classes, with control over when students can add to the Whiteboard

Visual collaboration tools can make meetings and teaching environments more effective and inclusive. Our updated Whiteboard features in Teams enable students who donât have access to a touch or pen device to participate in whiteboarding sessions during Teams meetings. Plus, educators will also have the option to present the digital whiteboard without students having access to drawing on the board during class.

Enterprise Use Cases: Inclusive collaboration in the hybrid workplace

We are all in a new norm of working in a hybrid workplace. Though teams are not physically in person these days, there is still a need to be inclusive and collaborate via brainstorming and creative thinking sessions. We all have been in a meeting where we are using a dry erase board, adding sticky notes to a wall, and taking pictures of the material we write, draw, and discuss. We have brought the physical board to you via Whiteboard in Teams.

Additional Capabilities:

We are excited for you to start collaborating on Teams and Whiteboard on the Web! For more information on additional capabilities we have coming to Whiteboard, please see our Microsoft 365 Roadmap.

Please remember - you can continue to access all of Whiteboardâs feature-rich experiences â such as templates and hyperlinks â on the Windows 10 app and iOS app.

New Microsoft Whiteboard version 1.1811022 for iOS - November 13

Microsoft Whiteboard provides a freeform intelligent canvas where teams can ideate, create, and collaborate visually via the cloud. Designed for pen and touch, it lets you write or draw as smoothly as you would with ink, while automatically recognizing and transforming shapes and tables as you draw. It enhances teamwork by allowing all team members to edit and comment directly on the canvas in real time, no matter where they are. And all your work stays safe in the cloud, ready to be picked back up from another location or device.

Lot's of new Whiteboard goodness in this release. Smash that UPDATE button to:

Lock any image to the whiteboard background and never worry about accidentally erasing, moving or having to recreate template-like content again.

Make sure your whiteboard is easy for people of all abilities to read and edit with a new Accessibility Checker.

Access improved sticky note editing experience. Just double tap to add text & let your ideas flow fast.

Your recognized shapes and tables now have a hand-drawn effect applied to them to help you impress your peers with your penmanship.

When opening a whiteboard, we now show you a fancy loading animation to help pass the time (and so you don't sit wondering if anything is happening).

A sprinkling of usability, performance and bug fixes to make your whiteboarding experience a bit more polished.
