Microsoft Whiteboard is now available on Google Play Store as a public preview. However, the preview is available only for education and enterprise accounts. The app is a handy collaboration tool for students and professionals with a freeform intelligent canvas using which teams can formulate ideas and collaborate visually via the cloud. Microsoft Whiteboard is designed to work for touch, type, and pen. You will be able to write or draw smoothly with ink. You can also type content or add sticky notes to express your thoughts and intentions.
According to the Redmond-based software giant, Microsoft Whiteboard enhances teamwork by allowing all team members to edit the canvas in real-time irrespective of the location. There is no need to worry because the entire data is stored in the cloud and can be accessed from any device or location. The app was already available on Windows and iOS. The rollout of the Whiteboard app on Android will increase the market share of the app to a great extent.
