I use Microsoft Whiteboard, it works pretty well. One thing I like is you can put it on a big screen that supports Whiteboard, and also work from a browser or device and it all syncs in realtime, with multiple participants. And it's standalone so you don't have to be in a conferencing tool to use it.

I don't work for Microsoft, but just like Whiteboard.

In case someone from Microsoft is reading this, could you please show cursors of other people using a shared whiteboard, even if they are not drawing. It is weird seeing lines pop out of nowhere and hard to avoid drawing over the same space. Feature creep warning: ideally, I would like a "single pen" mode where only one person could draw. Once they are done, they would pass the pen to the other person. This feature would help keep meetings a bit more organized.

And if you need a UXR intern, let me know ;)

I’ve been using Whiteboard with a Wacom Intuos tablet and it’s been working really well so far. In some ways it’s even better than a normal whiteboard because I don’t have to remember to take a picture and share it with the group when we’re done and I can export the image to add markup text, etc, if needed.

OneNote also has some great drawing support.

I bought the Intuos S specifically for this as well. It does take some getting used to, but I like it as well!

I just put it in my Amazon basket yesterday, I guess I should press the Buy button!

Have used this as well, works great on the ipad
