IT'S TECH THURSDAY AT ABI
Microsoft Teams
WHITEBOARD
Meet Whiteboard a digital canvas where
ideas, content, and people come together.
It re-creates the dynamic of that loveable wall of melamine with
digital pens, post-its, and more.
How do I get started with a Whiteboard in a Teams meeting?
You can share a whiteboard to make it available to all participants in a Teams meeting. That same whiteboard is simultaneously available in the Whiteboard applications on Windows 10, iOS, and on the web.

Here's how to get started:
In the Whiteboard section, select Microsoft Whiteboard
or
After joining a Teams meeting, click the Share icon in the share tray of that meeting. (per below image)

Note: The ability to start a new whiteboard is currently limited to the Microsoft Teams clients on Windows 10, Mac, and for the web. The Teams apps for iOS and Android can only view whiteboards that have already been created.
You’ll then be asked if you want to present or collaborate.
If you select the Present whiteboard option, only you can edit the whiteboard. But you can change these settings later and allow other participants to edit the whiteboard as well.

If you select the Collaborate option, all the attendees will be able to edit it
  1. Closes the Inking tools.
  2. The pens you can use to draw on the board.
  3. The Eraser tool.
  4. A ruler for drawing straight lines at any angle.
  5. A Lasso tool for selecting elements on the board.
  6. The Undo and redo actions.

Click a pen to start drawing or writing on your board. If you’re using a touchscreen, you can use your finger or a stylus. On a non-touchscreen, you can use your mouse or trackpad.
To alter the color or width of a pen, click the black dot at the top of the pan and select from the options in the menu.

Once you’ve changed a pen’s color or width, it will stay that way every time you return to the Inking tools, no matter which board you’re in. This gives you the ability to select your preferred options so they’re available every time you use Whiteboard.
The Ruler helps you draw a straight line at any angle. Click the tool, and a ruler appears.

You can change the angle by using two fingers to rotate it (on a touchscreen) or by scrolling the wheel on your mouse (on a non-touchscreen). Select a pen and draw a line against the rule edge for a perfectly straight line.
The Lasso tool allows you to select one or more elements on the board. Just drag the tool around the elements you want to select. You can then either move them together or delete them.

If you want to write things on your board, it’s easiest to do so with your finger or a stylus on a touchscreen, although you can use your mouse. Whiteboard has a brilliant tool called Ink Beautification that turns your scrawl into an elegant font at the touch of a button.
