Is there any easy way to "convert" a MS WhiteBoard into a Mural

ErikCollard

Hello there !

Our company used to work with MS WhiteBoard for collaboration and we are now switching to Mural. Now we would like to move some of the boards from WhiteBoard to Mural and are a bit complex to do manually.

I tried basic copy-pastes and it works perfectly fine for stickies. But Mural pastes everything as stickies, even images (it creates a sticky that simply says "image") and same for handwriting for example.

Is there a way to paste content another way, or any other way that could help me transferring designs and content from Whiteboard to Mural ?

Thanks a million :)

Alrighty @ErikCollard - this is what I got back from our internal canvas team:

Some content like shapes, vectors are not compatible to paste into mural and the most important the platform MS whiteboard don’t copy the content to the clipboard, ex. images (this is the big problem).

So meanwhile the options are:

1. Install a browser extension to copy content from MS whiteboard to clipboard. Can use this app to verify if MS whiteboard is copying the content: https://evercoder.github.io/clipboard-inspector/
2. Do screenshots (print screen) to parts of the board and paste into a mural.
3. Export as images from MS whiteboard and import into a mural.

Hey @ErikCollard - want to make sure we're not leaving you hanging here. I've brought this question to our canvas team internally and will hopefully have an answer for you soon.
