    Just being able to change shape of notes from square to rectangular would be great!

    Is “working on it” really an appropriate designation when what is being worked on is just text boxes? There were separate requests for text boxes and for basic shapes, but they were merged, and now only one of them is being worked on. A straight line tool is the single most important tool for my workflow (making simple graphs quickly on anything other than a Surface or iPad), but that tool may not get attention if this item is marked as “working on it”.

    The ink is difficult to read for my 5th graders. I've been copying word problems into the whiteboard but EVERY SINGLE DAY kids tell me they cannot read the font.

    Teaching a mathematical subject such as geometry, the XP-PEN that I am using does not interface very well onto the screen when I draw lines and basic shapes such as a triangle, or circle. Including basic shapes in the same pen color (and shape) selected can improve conversations a lot. Also add grid lines that can be removed if I choose to.

    Whiteboard has made some good improvements with pen choices, list, notes, and templates. Problem is you need to be on a Windows touch screen devices or iOS with an Apple Pencil for the best usage. Take a look Mural and the ability to select shapes, icons, lines for connectors, and a wider variety of templates. These features really bridge the gap from users with touch screen/stylus devices and those without. With so many organizations having a mixed environment of Windows / Mac and touch screen / non-touch screen these basic additions would be a HUGE WIN! Our company is a big O365 and Teams user but we are paying for 200 licenses of Mural.

    Would love to be able to type with the students on it. It would go much faster with the text boxes. If this feature is already there, please let me know.

    agreed. Today, the web/teams version of Microsoft whiteboard looks like the result of a first term student exercise in software development.
    I hear the win10/ipad app is really great, but what I see on the web is ... just too poor to be any useful.
