STEP 1 — Start or Open the Whiteboard on the Yealink MeetingBoard

You can open a whiteboard in two ways:

  1. On the MeetingBoard Home Screen

    • Tap Whiteboard to start a new board.
  2. During a Microsoft Teams Meeting

    • Tap … > Microsoft Whiteboard to open a collaborative whiteboard.

STEP 2 — Use the Whiteboard Normally

Draw, annotate, and collaborate as needed.
Your content will stay visible in the meeting until the session ends.


STEP 3 — On Your PC, Open the Same Meeting in Microsoft Teams

To save the board to OneDrive, you must open it in Microsoft Teams on your laptop/desktop, because that’s where saving takes place.

How to do this:

  1. Join the same meeting from your Teams desktop app.
  2. Look for the Whiteboard tab that appears in the meeting controls or meeting chat.
  3. Click the whiteboard to open it in the Microsoft Whiteboard interface.

This works because Microsoft stores meeting whiteboards in the cloud (Azure/Whiteboard service), not directly on the MeetingBoard. [learn.microsoft.com]


STEP 4 — Microsoft Whiteboard Automatically Saves to OneDrive

Once you open the whiteboard in Teams:

  • It is automatically saved as a .whiteboard file in your OneDrive under:
    OneDrive → Whiteboards
  • No manual “Save” button is required.

STEP 5 — Access or Share the Whiteboard in OneDrive

To view or share the saved whiteboard:

  1. Go to onedrive.com or open the OneDrive desktop app.
  2. Open the Whiteboards folder.
  3. Find your file (named by meeting or date).
  4. Right‑click → Share
    • You can send a sharing link or attach it in Teams.

⚠️ Important Notes (Based on Verified Sources)

❗ MeetingBoard devices cannot export whiteboards directly to OneDrive

They only export to:

  • USB drive

❗ Whiteboards from room accounts (Teams Rooms) do NOT save to OneDrive

Microsoft confirms Teams Room Pro licenses do not include OneDrive storage, and whiteboards from those accounts are stored in Azure only.
But you can still save by opening the board from a licensed personal user account on Teams. [learn.microsoft.com]

To save a Yealink MeetingBoard whiteboard to OneDrive:

  2. Open the same meeting from the Teams desktop client on your PC.
  3. Open the whiteboard from the meeting chat.
  4. Microsoft Whiteboard automatically saves the file to your OneDrive.
