    In Skype for Business 2015, is it necessary to set up an Office Web Apps server to use a Whiteboard in order to draw and share the drawing over a chat? (I am referring to the feature below)

    Or is an OWA server necessary only when you want to share PowerPoint slides? (I am referring to the feature below)

    hi,

    OWA only for native ppt sharing.

    White boards doesn't use OWA.

    Thanks a lot for letting us know.

    This would have save us some money, and we now have a server that we don't use...

    But still it's good to know & I'm glad that I asked.

    Thank you so much!

    Regards,

    Jon
