Using whiteboard while working with guests in a team outside organization

Question

Hello is it possible to link whiteboard or miro to a teams channel that I have been added to as a guest?

@fvera

The ability to add or link apps like Microsoft Whiteboard or Miro in a Teams channel as a guest really depends on a few factors:

1. Organization policies and permissions: Many Teams features and app integrations are controlled by the host organization’s IT or Teams administrators. Often, guest accounts have limited permissions compared to full members. For example, adding a custom tab (such as a Whiteboard or Miro board) to a channel might be restricted to full members or the team owner.
2. App-specific restrictions:

 • Microsoft Whiteboard is generally integrated into Teams meetings, so you might be able to collaborate on a whiteboard during a meeting even as a guest. However, adding a Whiteboard tab to a channel may require higher-level permissions.

 • For Miro, the integration is usually for users within the organization and might require specific licensing or permission settings approved by the host tenant. Guests may only be able to view a board if it’s shared publicly or if additional permissions are given
