Microsoft Whiteboard App For Mac
Microsoft Whiteboard App For Windows 10

The Microsoft Whiteboard app includes the capability for Surface Hubs and other devices with the Microsoft Whiteboard app installed to collaborate in real time on the same board.

Prerequisites

Sometime during the summer of 2018, the updated version of the Digital Whiteboard for Windows 10 app will be made available for download from the Microsoft Store. RELATED: What Is Microsoft Whiteboard, and How Do You Use It? Sharing a whiteboard is simple, and the process is the same whether you’re using the Whiteboard client or web app. We’ll be using the Windows 10 client, as it has more features and is our recommended method. Today we are pleased to announce the Public Preview of the Microsoft Whiteboard app for Android and the launch of Microsoft Whiteboard in Microsoft Teams channels and chat. Whiteboard in Teams Channels and chat. For projects and longer-term discussions, you can now create a whiteboard associated with a Teams channel or chat.

To use whiteboard collaboration complete the following actions:

Add Whiteboard.ms, whiteboard.microsoft.com, and wbd.ms to your list of allowed sites.
Open port: HTTPS: 443 (normally configured when you first run Surface Hub.)

Office 365 requirements

Whiteboard collaboration is only supported in the Office 365 commercial environment and requires Office 365 with cloud-based Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
You can only run collaborative sessions among users belonging to the same Office 365 tenant.
Office 365 Germany or Office 365 operated by 21Vianet do not support whiteboard collaboration.

Collaborating with whiteboards

To start a collaboration session:

In the Whiteboard app, tap the Sign in button.
Sign in with your organization ID.
Tap the Invite button next to your name at the top of the app.
Write or type the names of the colleagues you wish to collaborate with.

On the other device, such as a Surface Hub, when you are signed in, the shared board will now appear in the board gallery.

User tips

Log in to access your whiteboards. As you work, changes are saved automatically.
Name your whiteboards to help organize your content and find it quickly. Select the … to open the menu. Select the Options gear icon to access more tools and features of the Whiteboard.
Use Ink to shape to turn drawing into actual shapes like circles, squares, and triangles.
Use Ink to table to turn a drawn grid into a table with rows and columns.
You can also change the background color and design from solid to grid or dots. Pick the background, then choose the color from the wheel around it.
You can export a copy of the Whiteboard collaboration for yourself through the Share charm and leave the board for others to continue working.

Tip

If you are using Whiteboard and cannot sign in, you can collaborate by joining a Teams or Skype for Business meeting, and then sharing your screen. After you're done, tap Settings > Export to email or save a copy of the board. If you choose to export to SVG, it exports vector graphics and provides higher resolution than PNG and can be opened in a web browser.
