Whiteboard is a collaborative digital canvas that is included with CUIMC's site license for Microsoft 365 Apps. It lets anyone with a current CUIMC email/Microsoft 365 account work together on topics of discussion via a familiar, easy to use visual app that is compatible on almost any internet-connected device or computer, as well as compatible conference room equipment.
Note that some features may not be available or operate the same on different platforms (i.e. web, Teams, Windows or mobile device apps), and Microsoft is currently in the process of adding and standardizing features, which include:
Whiteboard can be used from a web-based portal, installed as an app on Windows, iOS, and Android devices, and is integrated with Teams and Surface Hub conference room devices. If Whiteboard is already installed on your computer or device, you can click the profile icon to verify you are signed in with your CUIMC email account, or switch (sign out) to your CUIMC email account. If you are off campus you will also see a prompt to use Duo for multifactor authentication. Whiteboards can only be shared with others who have a CUIMC email/Microsoft 365 account.
From any internet-connected computer or device simply go to https://whiteboard.microsoft.com and sign in with your CUIMC email account and password. Most current web browsers are compatible including Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
If you are not connected to a campus network (CUIMC wired, wireless, or VPN), you will also see a prompt to choose your Duo multifactor authentication (MFA) method for this sign in. Select one and approve the Duo method to confirm and complete your sign in; for more help see full steps for Using Duo with Email and Office 365.
The app can be installed on Windows computers, iPhone/iPad, and Android devices.
