About

Microsoft Whiteboard is a free-form digital canvas integrated with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365, enabling real-time collaboration with sticky notes, shapes, templates, and AI-powered Copilot features.

Microsoft Whiteboard provides an infinite canvas where teams can brainstorm, plan, and collaborate visually in real time. Deeply integrated with Microsoft Teams and the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem, it allows participants to launch whiteboards directly within meetings. The canvas supports sticky notes, shapes, text, inking, reactions, and images with a rich template library covering brainstorming, project planning, retrospectives, and design thinking workshops. Copilot AI integration helps generate ideas, organize content, and summarize board activity. Whiteboard syncs across devices through OneDrive, and boards can be exported as images or shared via links with granular permission controls.
