How can we improve Microsoft Whiteboard on Windows 10?

← Whiteboard for Windows 10

Add music staves as background

Music teachers that use Microsoft Whiteboard in class need music staves as background :-)

It would be awesome if that background was added to Whiteboard.

    You can add images and lock them to the background. We use it for blue/red assistive lines in teaching handwriting.
    There is also a Microsoft tutorial video for EDU users. In it there is an example for adding music staves using the bing search tool. Once added, click the image and lock it to the background.

    I think this requirement should be generalised into 'allow custom backgrounds' to allow us to upload whatever template we want to draw on.

    Same! Please add the option for music staff paper, or at least an option to customize the lined notebook paper background!

    Please Microsoft, for MusicTeachers create a template with a music staff that is writeable for teachers and students in real-time.

    Yes please, music staves as background for the whiteboard. With the added functionality of changing the space betwwen the lines of the staves (eg. greater for younger students or dyslexic)
    Also, letting us create our own templates, eg. if inserting a pdf with staves save it as template.

    You could just insert a word doc or pdf with the staves present, and go from there. Seems pretty niche to make a background out of it when there are a ton of other ways to get staves into the whiteboard...

    yes great idea for music background we definitely need this feature, it's very useful during retro or brainstorming sessions, before gathering the ideas.

    Completing the idea...

    It could also be achieved with letting us insert images that won't be erased with the erase tool. It would need one more option to delete these "attached to background" images.
