In my demo account I don’t have that much activity at recent files. Documents end up in the Whiteboard as pictures. For example selecting certain PowerPoint slides. The most recent addition is Documents, that allows you to add documents (PowerPoints and PDFs only) from your OneDrive or SharePoint sites (Teams files) to the Whiteboard. For my earlier Whiteboard post please see it here.
#CHECK MY ONEDRIVE STORAGE UPDATE#
The Teams and Web Whiteboard got this same update earlier, but as new features are being added I will highlight them in this blog. When opening a Microsoft Teams meeting and clicking on the Whiteboard tab we can see some updates already. It is very intuitive and I found it also easy to remember & use: much easier than having to select a ruler from tools first to draw lines.
#CHECK MY ONEDRIVE STORAGE HOW TO#
I like how the Whiteboard team added hints how to use Whiteboard to the loading screen.įor example people missing our the old ruler should remember to hold down Shift key to draw straight lines. GIF source: Check out the article at Tech Community blog. External sharing is tied to OneDrive storage that is scheduled to November this year: very soon!įluid components will include tables and other collaboration features directly in the Whiteboard.
Yes, you may miss ruler, thumbs up, magic wand and tables for example but in the exchange the roadmap will include sharing with externals, laser pointer, attribution, locking view and fluid components.įluid components in Whiteboard are really cool feature that I am looking really forward (along with external sharing) but unfortunately roadmap does not state them yet. What matters is that this is the new Microsoft Whiteboard and it works with all clients in the same way. This means that some familiar features we used before are now gone. The Whiteboard is now in-par with Teams and Web versions. It is a great moment in Whiteboard’s history: there is only one app! Bye bye having to think what works on Windows Desktop, Surface Hub, on Android, Web, Apple device or on Teams meeting.įor Windows Desktop and Surface Hub Whiteboard users this change is a major one. Checking out forward I also saw that Whiteboard application on my iPad had been also updated to the new version. Yesterday when I did a manual update check on my Windows 11 Store I was happy to see Microsoft Whiteboard application updating to the new version.
