Expand WhiteBoard availability for GCC tenants
Currently the Whiteboard is not available to GCC customers. My Customer has seen the benefits and has requested the capability be added to the Government Community Cloud (GCC)

No update, no roadmap update...why is it so difficult?

The Whiteboard feature would be a really useful addition to the GCC tenants. We're all doing the best we can with PowerPoint and other tools, but Whiteboard is what we really want. It was asked for nearly 2 years ago and we still don't have it.

Echoing other comments -- please add Whiteboard for GCC customers. It would be very helpful for brainstorming as a team while teleworking.

I think this should be on the roadmap so that we can monitor its progress. Even though the status was changed to "working on it" in January, there's still nothing on the roadmap to give us an idea of the status or an ETA.

Any status updates here? Why is it so hard to get the Whiteboard feature in GCC?

My understanding is this app is available to other tenants but not under our "GCC" contract. Wondering why Government is consistently behind the times. If it is t o make sure all features are secure and working properly, that is one thing. However this has happened a number of times. We are all remote now and third party integration of other apps to resolve this creates too many security issues for our HIPAA organization.

I'm joining the chorus of voices here: We've got a hybrid workforce for the foreseeable future, part remote and part onsite, and we need Whiteboard in Teams ASAP. Thank you.

This has been requested by many of our departments to help with productivity in this new "Work from Home" norm.

This would cut down on the demands for other products.

As a state employee, we'll be working remotely until the end of June, at minimum. Our IT team does a lot of collaborative design work and have had to use alternate tools for remote collaboration. We'd love to have Whiteboard as soon as possible. Certainly before we're all back in the office together again.

This is one of the most requested features in our GCC Deployment.

Can someone Please give us a time line ? I had this for about a week 5 months ago and now its not even an app on my admin site ? we purchased 4 Surface hubs and can't collaborate with them at all and its so frustrating telling the users you can't use it as a whiteboard.. they look at IT as what are you talking about ...end users don't understand that its not available for GCC. and we really don't know what the hold up is .. can't you just enable it .

I echo these posts and join the cry for the addition of Whiteboard for GCC customers. As an organization we have ended up turning to third party tools rather than using a tool already available from Microsoft; just not for us. Please add the feature as soon as possible. Any update and response from Microsoft to this post would also be greatly appreciated.

Yes, please add to GCC. I'm tired of using a different account for whiteboard than in teams, and of course, it just doesn't integrate well when you do that.

I want to add my comment to the list that this needs to be added to the GCC ASAP, especially given the Teams integration (which we're working on making our default communications/interaction platform.

As a facilitator the windows white board will greatly enhance engagement and action planning. It is a gap for those of us in government who are working remotely.
