Open Existing Board & Tab App
Hi,
To make the integration with Microsoft Teams better I would like to add this:
If a whiteboard is created from a team it would be nice if it was easily found from Microsoft Teams. As of now people who didn't join the meeting can't see the whiteboard (unless someone shares it). It would be better if it was attached to the team channel
When I start a meeting from Microsoft Teams and share a whiteboard I would lite to be able to open an existing whiteboard. Sometimes we don't want to start from a clean slate but from an existing whiteboard

Yes ! this is needed . we should also be able to create different versions starting with a canvas. maybe we want different teams to work on it and come back with their ideas.. we should be able to copy.

Would be very useful if we could add whiteboards as tabs in channels in teams.

Agreed, would be good to access whiteboard from teams; however, you don’t have to start off with a clean board. You can create a sheet in whiteboard and work on it, then give it a name so you can access the work at any time. Also, any sheet created can be embedded as a hyperlink into any document, such as a PowerPoint for quick access during a lesson. Hope this helps.

would be good if there could be multiple canvases in each Whiteboard to help move groups from one page to another within a WB. Jag

The second one of these is really essential, to allow teachers to set up a whiteboard before class

I would like to have students be able to interact with the whiteboard by sending a link via email or classroom to the entire class.

Professionals working in a collaborative environment with clients and outside guests need the same ability. This is a great idea for using the whiteboard with any device or desktop app.

I've found a workaround to add whiteboard to Team channels and/or Team chats, but would be nicer if this was native functionality. Also, would be great to add comments to a board and if I mention a person (@joeTeamber@work.com) that person would get a chat or notification somehow that they were called out on the whiteboard. In fact, I don't even see a comments function on the whiteboard.

For that function, I will leave other collaboration apps behind and go only with this apps

Teachers really need to be able to setup Whiteboards in advance, and then open the desired whiteboard within Teams at the right point in the lesson. Spending valuable instruction time setting up the whiteboard is not appropriate.

How is the Whiteboard useful if we cannot return to it?

Yes! Please add the ability to share an existing whiteboard during a Teams meeting.

It would make sense to be able to add a Whiteboard (existing or new) to team channel, so every team member would be able to see the board in their Whiteboard app - and via Teams.
