Centralize conversations in one location

By combining Lucid and Microsoft Teams, you can bring all related communication for your team into one shared spot.

Simply add a Lucid board as a tab or embed it into a Teams channel to unlock real-time collaboration on a shared visual canvas.

You can stay even more connected with real-time alerts whenever someone mentions you in a document or invites you to collaborate on a board. Simply right click on an object to add a comment, or leave a message on a sticky note @mentioning a colleague to bring their attention to a specific area of a canvas.

Thanks to Lucid’s Microsoft Teams integration, when you leave a comment for someone in your Lucid board, they’ll receive a notification in Teams.

Turn conversations into action

Lucid enables teams of all sizes to capture ideas big and small so that golden ideas don’t get lost. Thanks to its infinite canvas and ease of access, Lucid helps you capture contributions from every team member by creating space for multiple collaborators.
