Hye Kevin. Can you help me. I can't draw on my whiteboard. I need to turn on my fingertip mode on. But i cant find the button? How to find the fingertip mode?

[@dianneoliver6234]

I am teaching a math class how do i do this on Microsoft? Is there something i can use to do this on my laptop.

[@annam4229]

Kevin, you are an amazing presenter. Your presentations are easy to follow and the words you use are easy to understand. You have this ability to take something technically challenging and make it user-friendly! I'm sure Microsoft misses you! Their loss is our gain! Thank you.

[@simplyshyrell]

Thank you Kevin!! My fourth graders will be so impressed when they witness my growth with the use of whiteboard.

[@cringo6337]

I really was Impressed! thank you miss Shyrell!

[@Dr_Joe]

Thanks, Kevin. As an MSFT Alum, I am very grateful to you for doing all these videos. I left the company 20 years ago, long before most of these great tools were even a twinkle in anyone's eyes. WHITEBOARD is perhaps the best yet! Again, thanks!

[@janabloomfield4151]

As a special education teacher, I’m going to use this application for students IEP meetings. No longer having to keep up with paper, it’s all in a central location. This is a game changer for me! I got a Surface Pro during the holidays, I had no idea how invaluable it would become. Thank you!!

[@guyinazo]

I was happy to see this tutorial this morning. Timely for me as I just talked with some here in the office last week about using Whiteboard. I embedded your video into our Teams team

[@focuslearningtoronto4444]

Thank you Kevin! I really like how you can explain from the user’s’ perspective. Really helpful!

[@ronakbhagat2719]

Kevin, your videos are always helpful. Thanks for posting these. You are truly showcasing the power of MS products. MS too deserves more than what they are getting.

[@yemisioyegbile4075]

Thanks, Kevin for all you do to make teaching and learning on MS Teams easier for me.

Finally some professional content! Thank you!

[@biologiabucal]

Justo, justo, justo, lo que estaba necesitando 😉 ¡gracias, Kevin!

[@detrinaodum2074]

This is a most helpful instructional video. Thank you so much! As a teacher, it is vital to use as much technology for our students as possible as we have become more of a symbol-laden society. You are the only TEAMS instructor I watch because you are direct and organized in your instruction. Again, thank you.

[@linsqopiring6816]

Hi. I was wondering if as a teacher can your students who have a Mac computer or just a smartphone use teams or whiteboard? Finding a platform that all your students can use regardless of OS is challenging?

[@l33tster]

Thanks a ton Kevin, this is very helpful and the timing is super convenient for my company & I!

[@elinagreen5579]

Clear, concise, useful - Thank you!

[@floryhawk7027]

Great tutorial. We're implementing O-365 at my work. Your videos are so helpful. Would love to see a short tutorial on the mind mapping template!

[@williamreamer7630]

Great video Kevin! This is very timely for me as a leader of a fortune 20 company, my team is looking for a way to collaborate together since we’re not in the office at this time. Keep doing what you’re doing sir, you’re awesome! If you want to do another video or two deep diving into whiteboard, that would be awesome! Have a great day!

As usual, awesome! It's afternoon here. You usually upload at around 3:30 p.m. in India time. I always look forward to your videos.

3 AM here in Seattle... I'm usually sound asleep. It also corresponds with when traffic starts increasing on the channel, so I figure that's a good time to schedule the video 😁
