Whiteboard
Functioning as a virtual whiteboard, Microsoft Whiteboard makes it easy to collaborate in team meetings by diagramming and visually sharing ideas. It’s also an excellent tool to implement in training sessions. Whiteboard can be leveraged in real time and existing boards can be saved and accessed on demand.
