whiteboard O365 A1 licensing: Plan 1 vs Plan 2
It's probably related to this but like all others, no information in my extended Bing brain :)
I just checked our licensing - we're Office 365 E3, and we now have Whiteboard Plan 2 enabled.
We're making several changes to Microsoft Whiteboard that will roll out over the next 3-4 months.
- For all organizations with Whiteboard - Microsoft Whiteboard will appear as an available product in Office 365 and the service principal will be added to appropriate tenants that have Whiteboard enabled.
- For all Office 365 tenants with Whiteboard located in Europe - Microsoft Whiteboard will automatically store whiteboard content in datacenters in that region.
- For all organizations with Surface Hubs – If you manage Surface Hubs, the legacy 2016 application of Whiteboard will be upgraded to the latest version and the legacy version will no longer receive updates.
Robin Nilsson I originally assumed the Mar 15th notice had something to do with the Whiteboard web app (preview) that can be enabled under 'Services & add-ins'. Maybe the additional whiteboard license plans are tied to the whiteboard web app becoming GA'd?
davidchr Any activity would be great :) I love Whiteboard, just wish the web version would hurry up and support all the main features of the app. I've been using a hack of using Whiteboard in our conference rooms that are still Win7 via a projected Teams meeting (which uses the web version), and accessing the same whiteboard via my iPad so I can use all the features.
