Does hub allow for synchronized white boarding?

Does the surface hub allow for both remote and local participants to whiteboard using onenote? We currently use onenote for our meeting but don't have a surface hub. One of the things that is lacking...

This is the most common user feedback.. Today there are no capabilities within the whiteboard to do CO-Annontation. However there are several great apps in the store that provide this fucntionality (Mural, headcandy, Stormboard, collaboard) along with a great html 5 app from www.limnu.com ... Co-Annontation is also a top priority in the feature list.

It is the most commonly requested of all features but not even on the hozion yet. We have had dual inking while in Whiteboard requests and fed them back since Nov 15.

I was reading up on office 365 news and saw that MS is working on onenote collaboration https://www.google.com/amp/www.techrepublic.com/google-amp/article/five-office-365-features-on-the-horizon-for-2017/

Then I learned a little bit about the classroom tools for onenote. It says that students can interact in real time. I wonder what that means I'm terms of sync speed. I also found this article about a REALTIME collaborative whiteboard from Microsoft which is intended for classrooms but may also work for business: https://www.google.com/amp/s/mspoweruser.com/microsofts-whiteboard-app-teachers-students-show-windows-store/amp/

Thoughts? Anybody more knowledgeable about this?

I installed this on my Surface Pro 4 when it was released but it never worked despite reinstalling. Just a black screen with 0.0.0.0 in white.
It seems like a good solution and I'd be interested to see if anyone has it working.
