Advance Whiteboard Features
Advance whiteboard features would add massive value to remote teams like icon & photo finder, wireframes templates, idea voting,web page capture or via URL, prebuilt templates (eg.Strategy, Agile, ideation, mind maps, sixsigma tools...)... A good inspiration can be found in Realtimeboard or Mural.

We are working on improving the Microsoft Whiteboard in Teams to include new features including sticky notes, pen and ink, and drag and drop capabilities. These features will enable team members who don’t have access to a touchscreen or Surface Hub to participate in whiteboarding sessions during Teams meetings. You can read more details here: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/blog/2020/07/08/reimagining-virtual-collaboration-future-work-learning/.

Being able to connect with other apps would be great e.g. planner, using Power Automate etc....

Would like to be able to integrate a whiteboard that's been created in the full app into the Teams whiteboard app instead of just being able to "publish to Teams" which ends up as a link in the message flow.

Is it possible to simply start the full version of Whiteboard in Teams rather than being forced to open the full-featured Whiteboard version in a separate window.
Why do I have to do this if I have the full version installed on my computer?

I'd like to see it be possible that each student has their own copy of a whiteboard to use in a lesson. I know this is kind of doable in OneNote, but as a live lesson resource it's a bit clunky.
Just something that the students can write/type on that a teacher can quickly click on to see what they're written.

Whiteboard is very limited, users have to install it prior to the use, post its with large text have to be 'double clicked' to be able to go through the text, it is not possible to change color of text and you cannot put 'arrows' or indicators for users. I would suggest a benchmark with WebEx they have an excellent whiteboard tool for reference that allows you to type simultaneously, place arrows per user representing them) and the user does not have to click in another app, sheet or anything, neither download apps. Miro is also better because it has really useful templates but it also requires creating a user which does not work in operational environment.

It would be great to copy existing whiteboards so that the layout cam be used as a template.

Check out Mural or Miro for some great ideas for advanced content. I use both of these platforms for virtual whitebaord sessions and they work great!

Great! Will the Whiteboard be available for GCC clients soon? This is a very commonly asked for feature!

It really is unfortunate that the whiteboard integration does not have the same functionality as the standalone app. The sticky note / text option with thumbs up functionality is a must have to turn this in a useful tool. This would also allow my less fortunate colleagues who are using Apple devices to join a collaborative session

Being able to use a whiteboard from the mobile app (especially iPadOS with Apple Pencil) would be a great improvement!

I'd love to see the ability to use a whiteboard outside of a teams meeting.

Adding templates is a good idea, but keep Whiteboard simple to use. I like how Whiteboard is a very simple and intuitive tool - just like walking up to a whiteboard in your conference room. So, if you are going to add templates and advanced features, make sure you don't ruin the very simple, intuitive nature of Whiteboard. Miro board has some nice features, but using it for just a whiteboard is not great.

I couldn't agree more with this idea, specially when you run design thinking projects all of this would add massive value
