You can use Microsoft Whiteboard to collaborate with teammates on an infinite digital canvas where you can draw, write sticky notes, add images, and sketch diagrams in real time. It works for remote or hybrid meetings, letting everyone contribute simultaneously. You can use templates for brainstorming, planning, or retrospectives, and the canvas saves automatically so teams can return later. It integrates with Microsoft Teams, making it easy to start a whiteboard session directly inside a meeting.
