Mind mapping tools
Mind maps/concept maps are used widely in education. Whiteboard should add mind-mapping tools including arrows that can snap to notes/pictures/objects. This functionality exists in PowerPoint but on PowerPoint the canvas is often too small for collaborative mind mapping.

Maximum zoom out to view full whiteboard
Currently you can get lost by being too far zoomed in (there's no left-right/up-down scroll buttons) and being in a large blank space - it would be nice to have a hotkey or button on the toolbar to do a maximum zoom out, framing the entire whiteboard in a single view. User can then zoom back in to where they want to go. If there's no content, we can just go back to 0x0 @ 100% zoom.

Text in sticky notes
I would like to add more text to sticky notes and keep it visible - e.g. by the possibility to enlarge notes without enlarging the text size or by reducing the text size - best would be automatic rescaling of text or note.

predefined shapes
It would be very useful to have pre-defined shapes (rectangle, triangle, etc) much as Powerpoint has - bit a limited set. Drawing and the auto-sensing shapes are clever but rather fiddly in use.

Clone an object
Being able to clone an object for unlimited copying would be great. Save on the copy and pasting each time. For example, I would like coins at the bottom of my screen so that I can drag them up to make an amount.

Buggy Whiteboard - 4th time!
Sometimes, when I start sharing whiteboard in Teams, the other participants can only see a black screen and after a while I seem to not be able to even scribble. Once this happened, and I thought maybe I should save whatever was written already, so I opened it in the Desktop app and clicked export. It was outputting a blank SVG and a 10 KB PNG that wouldn't open.

Fix the lag
MS Whiteboard is very nice. Great functionality. But often it lags for someone in the meeting so not good for on-the-fly collaboration.
As a consequence I always use the Skype whiteboard for important meetings because it never ever lags.

Students can add content, but only delete their own.
I want to allow students in Teams for Education to add content, but not be allowed to delete anyone else's work. I can't find an option for this. Is it possible?

Import excel as sticky notes
I'd like to be able to import a selected column from excel so that each row is a sticky note. This way I can run group sessions in whiteboard to bin the cells into emerging categories.

Search
I have a very hard time finding my whiteboards, as I have a stack of 100+ (some have names, most don't).
I'd like to see a search capability for those that have names, or where OCR can recognize content within them... I also think the ability to create folders or tags would be amazing!5 votes -
