Microsoft Whiteboard digital whiteboard app for PC; see how to use | Productivity

Microsoft Whiteboard is an application for collaborative work that simulates a whiteboard and computer brainstorming. The app includes a drawing tool, notepads and image support to sketch ideas in the virtual environment and share the progress with others via the Internet. The program was exclusive to Surface Hub, a Microsoft business touch screen, but was recently released to all Windows 10 users. See how to use the main features of the Whiteboard.
