Pros: It has a clean and simple UI (probably due to limited functionality) that does the basics reasonably well.

Cons: Kind of expected most of the graphics/shapes functionality that you get in MS PowerPoint, but no, this looks like a 'minimum viable product' that really hasn't come close to being ready for launch.

Overall: I still use it a lot - due to it's integration with MS Teams - but every time I do I get frustrated all over again.

Pros: Firstly it has minimalistic design but is a great tool. Pretty much serves its purpose. Integrated with MS teams and also available for Desktop and the web. Can collab with friends.

Cons: Currently find no cons. I have been using since the lockdown.

Overall: Overall its a light weight and simple and easy to use tool that can help you share ideas with others using a virtual white board.

Pros: - I like how the whiteboard is super minimalistic without a mess of features. It loads up quickly and is easy to use.

Cons: - The button to clear the board could be placed in a more accessible place.

Overall: MS Whiteboard has been a savior in times of COVID. We use it all the time in our meetings and it saves so much of our time.
