Microsoft Whiteboard Overview
Microsoft Whiteboard is a digital whiteboard application available on Windows 10 and other platforms. This app allows users to share ideas in real-time and collaborate as if they were working on a physical whiteboard. With Microsoft Whiteboard, multiple users can create or insert text, shapes, handwritten notes, and images on the same digital whiteboard for sharing.
One notable feature of this app is its support for multi-input methods. Users can operate the app not only with a mouse or keyboard but also with a touchscreen or pen. Moreover, it can integrate with Microsoft Teams, making it usable in online meetings for group brainstorming and information organization.
Additionally, apps are available for iOS and Android devices, making it accessible across various devices. This means you can view and operate the whiteboard from anywhere.
Basic Usage of Microsoft Whiteboard
Next, let’s discuss the basic usage of Microsoft Whiteboard. The operational environment is based on standalone operations on Windows 10.
Handwriting Input
With Microsoft Whiteboard, you can write text by hand using a touchscreen or pen, in addition to the mouse. This allows you to quickly express and organize ideas through free drawing and writing.
When drawing freehand shapes, you might not always get a perfect shape. In such cases, try turning on “enhanced freehand-drawn shapes” in the settings, which can be found on the top right of the app screen.
Draw a triangle or square freehand and watch as it automatically converts into a neat shape. However, not all hand-drawn shapes will be auto-corrected, especially complex ones.
Adding Images and Templates
You can add images or templates (such as charts or graphs) to the whiteboard being created. There are various template options available, depending on brainstorming, strategy, planning, gaming, learning, and more.
In addition, you can insert various shapes, PDFs, text, etc., to emphasize visual elements or express ideas more concretely.
Reactions
You can add emoji reactions to other members’ ideas or proposals. Using emojis, you can provide feedback or reactions instantly with expressions like hearts, stars, or question marks.
Adding Sticky Notes
You can stick sticky notes to important elements, move them freely, color-code them for organization, etc. This feature can be helpful for inserting comments, among other things.
Sharing with Others
Whiteboards created with Microsoft Whiteboard can be shared with other users in real-time, enabling simultaneous collaboration.
When sharing, select “Share” in the top right of the app screen. Enable “Share link” and copy the link to share with others.
When you paste the link in your browser, choose to open it on the web or in the app, and the whiteboard will be displayed.
Exporting
You can export the created whiteboard as an image or PDF file, which can be useful for presentations, report creation, and sharing.
To export, first open “Settings” and select “Export.” Then choose the image or PDF format to save as. Once selected, the export will begin.
Setting a Timer
You can use the timer feature to manage work time and track task progress. By setting a timer, you can work with time awareness.
Click on the timer icon in the top right of the app screen, set the time, and start it.
Conclusion
Microsoft Whiteboard is a helpful tool for group work and idea sharing. We hope this article helps you understand the basic usage of Microsoft Whiteboard and serves as a reference to enhance your team’s productivity.
