You can create a new Whiteboard or open up an existing Whiteboard directly in a Teams meeting. There's no need to switch between apps or share your screen. 

Users can also choose an existing whiteboard to share in a Teams meeting. This allows you to prepare a whiteboard ahead of time or continue working iteratively on a project.

To share a whiteboard in a Teams meeting:

  1. Select the Share icon in the meeting's share tray.Share whiteboard in Teams

  2. In the Whiteboard section, select Microsoft Whiteboard.

  3. The board picker view will open. Select an existing board from the list or start a new board.Whiteboard Board picker

If a whiteboard is already associated with the meeting, Teams will share that board by default. You can choose a different board to share by navigating to the Home icon in the top left.

Note:  Surface Hub and Microsoft Teams Rooms devices primarily utilize resource accounts, and as such will default to sharing a new board or launching an already associated board.
