Hi, I'm not able to paste any images that I have copied onto a blank Microsoft Whiteboard. I haven't experienced this problem until today. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried closing the application, restarting my computer, repairing the app in settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the app etc. Only appears to not work in this application as I can still paste images on other apps e.g. Word.

    Hi Avinash, I had an hour with a consultant this morning. This is what the outcome was and I copy from the transcript:

    It seems like they are not prepared to do anything to help us!

    The first solution mentioned "screenshot and Annotate" does not work! as we cannot paste it onto the whiteboard!

    The second solution suggested is too time consuming! Particularly when people are paying for tuition!

    This is totally unacceptable!

    An user in another topic told, that maybe different account (or purchase plan) is the root cause, or at least a workaround.

    I tried then by myself.

    When i using my business office 365 account, the Copy+Paste function works.

    When i logged in with my private account (no plan purchased), the Copy+Paste function doesn´t work.

    Maybe this is helpful for you, as a workaround.

    This gives me hope, that the function (what is really a basic thing, just copy+paste, i´m wondering, in times of AI, what we are need to talk about) is not killed totally.
    Maybe it´s just a bug, or the plan, just keep the function in payed accounts.

    Who know´s. Microsoft is silent as always...

    I can confirm this. I have an account through my school and all the functions work 100%. It's the free personal accounts that have the copy/paste and various other issues.
