Read MoreNow Available! Add a whiteboard as a tab in a Microsoft Teams channel
/Sometimes its a simple change that can make a big difference and this might be the case for the latest update from Whiteboard and Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Whiteboard has been available in meetings or via the standalone applications for some time and whilst there have been people offering hacks to get a whiteboard appearing as a tab in a channel, there has been no official way to achieve this, until now!
With the latest updates to Teams, you are now able to select Whiteboard as an option for the available tabs when adding a tab to a Teams channel.
When you choose to add a tab simply search for whiteboard as below
You will then get the option to name your whiteboard as below. As ever with Microsoft 365 ensure you give it a full name the will explain the purpose for the board even if visiting it from outside of the channel.
As you can see below you will now have a persistent whiteboard within your Team. This could be useful for visual references and discussions as a Team that will persist between meetings and discussions.
