Managing the Convergence of the Physical and Virtual Office
It’s already been established that remote work culture isn’t going anywhere. However, that doesn’t mean offices will simply cease to exist. Many companies are offering flexible work environments for their employees, building in the option to work from home for part of the week. This shift to a more hybrid working environment will require some changes to the workspace with the convergence of the physical and virtual office.

Hi Anton, we do have an iOS app https://mural.co/ios that works on both iPhone and iPad. However, Andriod is still on our future roadmap. You can also join our beta for MURAL Scan which will scan in whiteboard content straight into MURAL. https://mural.co/scan In terms of tips and tricks, I personally would only use the iOS app for scanning or controlling a mural for a presentation. Populating content on mobile is tuff due to limited screen space. I hope that helps!

Learn how to manage the notes from your meetings and how to designate a participant to be a note taker or closed captionist.
There are some things to keep in mind before you start managing and taking notes:
If all participants are allowed to take notes, they cannot publish their notes to others during the meeting, but they can save them.
A single note taker can publish notes at any time during the meeting or can send a meeting transcript to all participants.
A closed captionist can publish captions in real time during the meeting and can also send a transcript containing the captions to all participants.
The notes feature is not available on the Mac.

The Notes panel is not as easy to find as Chat. You can find Notes under the "More Options" button when in a meeting. Like Ron S. mentioned, you can save those to your computer anytime, but it should ask whether you want to save your Notes before leaving or ending a meeting as well.

If the meeting host or presenter has selected the option to allow participants to take personal notes, you can type your notes on the Notes panel in the meeting window
Answered: Deepak Patel on April 7, 2020
Additionally, you can also do the same thing with whiteboards, but the instructor/host has to allow permissions for users to be able to save. Otherwise the instructor can just download the whiteboard and email it.
Alternate strategy is designating a note taker. Designate a note taker
If the single note taker or closed captions option is set for a meeting, you can designate any participant or closed captionist to be the note taker. When scheduling a meeting, you can set the notes option, or a presenter can set the notes option during a meeting.
Step 1 On the Participants panel, select the participant you want to designate as note taker.
Step 2 Change their role as follows:
Windows: Right-click and then select Change Role To > Note Taker.
Mac: Select ctrl and then click; then select Change Role To > Note Taker.
A pencil indicator appears to the right of the participant's name in the participant list.
Note If you select another note taker or closed captionist, any notes or closed captions that the previous note taker or closed captionist published remain on each participant's Notes or Closed Caption panel. However, the new note taker or closed captionist cannot edit the existing notes or closed captions.
Manage and Take Notes
During a meeting, one or more meeting participants with access to the notes feature can take notes on the Notes or Closed Caption panel in the Meeting window. Only one participant performs closed captioning.
If all participants are allowed to take notes, they cannot publish their notes to others during the meeting. However, participants can save their notes at any time during the meeting.
The meeting host can select the single note taker during the meeting. A single note taker can publish notes at any time during the meeting or send a meeting transcript containing the notes to all participants.
If needed, the host can also select a closed captionist. A closed captionist can publish captions in real-time during the meeting and can also send a transcript containing the captions to all participants.

I had this happen to some of my clients. they were dell xps15 and if you go to dell support or just google "download dell drivers" and update that it is what fixed our situation. had some firmware updates. Also, and i know this is obvious, but if you have pending windows updates it can cause a lot of software to act a bit wonky.
