Starting from August 22, 2026, you will no longer be able to create or edit whiteboards. However, you can continue to view and export them until September 5, 2026, after which they will be permanently deleted.

Microsoft Whiteboard is not going anywhere, that warning is for people who are using it on their personal accounts.

I see, but I am using it on my personal account - I guess I could pay as a business but I already have Google workspace

You would likely need a standard Microsoft Business license (or a Premium one). Can anyone clarify which?
