My team cannot see the whiteboard
If it is the case that a free account doesn't have access to file sharing, why do they make it an available option on the screens? Surely if something is not available to you, you should either get a message to say so or it should simply not appear as a selectable thing?
I have to say that I am new to Teams but it seems a lot less intuitive than Zoom, and a lot less feature-rich if you aren't a paying subscriber. I'd assumed they'd be pretty much on a par, but it seems not.
HImercedes9988 The second link shows that filesharing is included; I wasn't sure that the Whiteboard is included.

ThereseSolimeno Thank-you. It would appear that you can only share Powerpoint presentations, at least, that was my experience yesterday. This effectively means that I will have to convert all my pdfs, text files, images etc. to Powerpoint presentations if I want to share them, which is 'sub-optimal'. My screen displays a Whiteboard icon, and I can actually open the whiteboard and use it, but I can't share it, which again is 'sub-optimal'. If that is how it is supposed to be working, I do not know who wrote the Use Case but it can't have been peer-reviewed.
