help Microsoft Whiteboard (App) FAQ

Can Microsoft Whiteboard be used inside a Teams meeting?

Yes, a Whiteboard can be opened from the Share tray during a Microsoft Teams meeting so participants can draw and add content together. The board is saved to Microsoft's cloud services and can be reopened after the call by authorized participants.

Does Microsoft Whiteboard work with a mouse as well as a stylus?

It supports touch, digital pens, trackpads, and ordinary mouse input on compatible platforms. A Surface Pen offers more natural inking, but it is not required for sticky notes, text, shapes, or templates.

Can outside guests edit a Microsoft Whiteboard?

Guest access depends on the organization's Microsoft 365 and Teams sharing policies. A board that works for employees may remain unavailable to an external participant if the tenant administrator has disabled cross-organization collaboration.

How is Microsoft Whiteboard different from Miro?

Whiteboard is closely integrated with Teams and Microsoft 365, making it convenient for organizations already using those services. Miro typically offers a broader collection of workshop, diagramming, and product-planning tools, while Whiteboard focuses on accessible collaborative canvases.
