Designed for touch, type & pen, it lets you write or draw as smoothly as you would with ink, you can even type in text, add sticky notes or notes grid to express your ideas & use reactions to visually communicate your thoughts. It enhances teamwork by allowing all team members to edit the canvas in real time, no matter where they are. Get started quickly by inserting a pre-built template or draw your own flowchart using our expansive shapes library. No matter what your use case, we have the right set of tools for you and all your work stays safe in the cloud, ready to be picked back up from another location or device.
-- Create freely, work naturally –
Microsoft Whiteboard provides an infinite canvas where imagination has room to grow: draw, type, add a sticky note or a notes grid, move them around – it’s all possible. The touch-first, pen-first interface frees your ideas from the keyboard, and the intelligent inking technology transforms your doodles into great-looking shapes and lines that can be copied, pasted and combined with other objects. Moreover, you can also, ink on your sticky notes & text boxes and magically see the ink get converted to text using Apple Scribble functionality (on iPads with Apple Pencil).
--Collaborate in real time, wherever you are—
Microsoft Whiteboard brings every member of a team together working from their own devices across the globe. On the Whiteboard canvas, you can also see what your teammates are doing in real time and start collaborating on the same area. It’s about getting everyone on the same page – or board.
--Save automatically, resume seamlessly –
Forget having to take photos of your whiteboards, or marking them with “Do Not Erase.” With Microsoft Whiteboard, your brainstorming sessions are saved automatically to the Microsoft cloud, so you can pick up where you left off, whenever – and wherever – inspiration strikes next.

Great app!
It has all the functions I need and ease to use makes it perfect for my studies and notes.
I gave 4 stars because one thing is missing, and that is folders. At the time all whiteboards are just a pile of boards at homepage, Microsoft please make folders so we can sort whiteboards for different projects/notes. Otherwise, it’s a great app and I highly recommend it!
Doesn’t work
I cannot tell you how many times I made a board to just get off the app and re get back on it, and it didn’t save anything. I’ve tried everything. It will not save progress no matter what. I really like the setup but if it’s unpredictable on whether it’ll save or not, then I cannot use it. I’ll have to find something else.
Yet another app that was not tested
Not sure about MS's QA process, but...
Took the app, first - it was drawing only straight lines on iPad Pro with pen, then I pressed the "arrow" icon with my finger - it stopped working, I could not draw, select do anything, finger or pencil.
Killed the app, re-opened - now it worked with free hand drawing and I accidentally got the tip that I need to hold shift for straight line (hold shift, on ipad? On iPhone?... OK, I do have a keyboard, but ... the way of thinking is wrong here.) I did a few lines, added post it note - tried to zoom in - app froze as first time, killed the app, re-opened the app.
Was drawing a bit free hand, changed from black to red, arrow, marker, back to black - app froze again.
3 freezings in not even 10 minutes of usage... Seriously?
Crazy zooming while writing with Apple Pencil
The settings are set to recognise writing with a stylus, but as soon as my hand touches the screen to write, it starts to Zoom in and out. There is no pleasure in it for me using it or for my students watching it on their screens.
Continually hangs on iPad mini 2 iPadOS 14.2
I’d love to use this as my workplace only provides this as a white boarding solution. But it just hangs all the time. Might get a minute or two if I’m lucky before it hangs and I have to force close and reopen. I see this app is updated regularly by MS so I’m gobsmacked why this is not fixed, it’s hardly an abandoned app.
Didn’t let me log in
I couldn’t login when I opened it. It kept giving me an error.
Keeps freezing fix it
Freezing every time I try to draw on the app
Now MAM enabled
Seem app is now can work with MAM, good collaboration tool
great app, needs palm rest improvements
the app is my favorite in day to day customer conversations.
one thing to improve: palm rest recognition. this is a bit flacke and it is cross platform (iOS, surface).
please improve that and you get 5 stars.
