Using the Whiteboard in a Teams Meeting

  • Define Your Purpose – Decide whether the whiteboard will be used for brainstorming, visualizing concepts, or organizing tasks. This ensures clarity and keeps the session productive.

  • Set Up the Whiteboard in Advance – Before the meeting or class, pre-load any templates, grids, or key points so you’re not starting from scratch during the session.

  • Know Your Tools – Microsoft Teams Whiteboard offers pens, highlighters, sticky notes, and shapes. Familiarize yourself with these features so you can use them effectively.

  • Test Before the Session – If you’re leading a meeting or class, do a quick test to ensure the whiteboard is accessible and that you know how to navigate its features smoothly.
