In September 2021, MURAL gave teams everywhere the ability to bring a shared collaboration space directly into any channel, chat, meeting invite, or live video meeting with the launch of the MURAL® App for Microsoft Teams. MURAL’s integration into Microsoft Teams gave meeting attendees from global enterprises to burgeoning start-ups the ability to collaborate visually using digital sticky notes, images, drawings, diagrams, and more. MURAL has also been highlighted as an early adopter for Microsoft’s new collaborative application capabilities for the modern workplace, which integrate MURAL seamlessly into Microsoft Outlook and Office 365 platforms.
