Pictionary on Microsoft Teams
There's no built-in Pictionary in Teams, and the Games for Work app that older replies mention has reportedly been retired. Here's what still works:
Step 1: Open Whiteboard in the meeting.
Step 2: Send the drawer a word in a private chat.
Step 3: Have them draw while everyone else guesses in the meeting chat.
Step 4: First correct guess gets the next turn.
Skribbl also works if you share the link in the chat, since it runs in a browser with no install, and it handles the words and scoring.
Disclosure: I'm part of the team behind TeamPlay, so I'm biased. It isn't a Teams app. It runs in a browser, so nothing needs admin approval: the host shares their screen and players join on their phone or laptop with a room code. Free for up to 15 people.
