Microsoft Whiteboard Preview in Business Store?
Hi,
As far as I can tell, this should be available in the business store:
I can see it in the public store:
But no results come up when searching the business store, so I can add it in for people to test. We're locked down to only be able to access the Business store. Am I just being too quick and it's coming, or is there some other special way to get it there? (and yes I've enabled it on my Office 365 tenant!)

To clarify:
You need to enable it in your Office 365 tenant, which allows people to sign into the app using their Office 365 creds. There is no web based version of Microsoft Whiteboard currently.The app seems to be available in the public Microsoft Store, but if you manage your company's store via https://businessstore.microsoft.com/ you can normally search for any app there and 'get the app'. This will add it to your store.
Good news is that I checked today and it's now there:
https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-au/store/details/microsoft-whiteboard/
I'll write this up properly and share soon.

I was looking also, see here https://whiteboard.microsoft.com/terms for Preview Terms (you will need to agree to them) and here https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Whiteboard-Public-Preview-1caaa2e2-5c18-4bdf-b878-2d98f1da4b24 for the how to.
Best,
Simon.

Easily installed it from the public store and I've got a message in telling me to enable it in services and add-ins, but it is listed to turn on. I'm in the UK.

Any update on when this will be live in the Business accounts? I am in the United States and do not see it appear under Settings -> Services & add-ins. I can install locally through the Microsoft store and sign in with my personal account (hotmail.com), but work accounts will not work.
Wouldn't that rely on your organisation selecting to add the app to your business store? Once it's present in the regular store it should then be possible to be added to the business version.

I don't see where I can enable Whiteboard Public Preview in our Office 365 account. It isn't listed under Services & Add-Ins.

Maybe it's still being rolled out, so perhaps give it a few more days. Also, I wonder if it won't turn up in some tenants based on region -
"The Microsoft Whiteboard Preview is available in all Windows regions in English, and will roll out to other languages in a few months."
It turned up in my tenant straight away in the UK -

So jealous ... ours has all of those except Whiteboard Preview.
