We are looking for a list of vendors that have digital stylus and input pads that will work with Microsoft Whiteboard. With Microsoft Whiteboard, we are looking for the Windows 10 device app and also with the Microsoft Teams Whiteboard. Any recommendations would be helpful. Many of these users have laptops and they are not going to replace them with Surface tablets or iPads anytime soon.

    Hi @Ellsworth, Scot ,

    My name is Urmil Patel and I am an educator. I have used MS Whiteboard extensively for teach and writing solutions of mathematical problems. But I had a bad experience with MS Whiteboard while teaching. When I share my screen to the students via Google meet or Zoom, they can see the screen but they cannot see the movement of my cursor. I use XP Pen tablet on my Windows 10. I started teaching on One Note but as a mathematician I feel that MS Whiteboard is the right choice as it has infinite canvas(great for writing solutions to the long problems).

    I use MS Whiteboard to teach college students who partly do need cursor but when I teach kids, I have to compulsorily use One Note. It would be great if people can see cursor on the other hand.

    I also tried recording screen using Windows ctrl+g option and OBS, but the recorded video do not show the movements of the cursor that were made by the stylus of the Pen Tablet.

    Hi EllsworthScot-3546,

    It seems no official documents list such information.

    It is sure that you can use Surface Pen with Microsoft Whiteboard.
