> you can't do things like scribbling on whiteboards, and you have to run it from a space where video calling actually works.

Just get a Surface Hub.

Or just point a camera at the whiteboard.

That's not interactive for everyone else in the meeting.

With a Hub, everyone else can just collaborate on the shared whiteboard using their iPads.

True, but how often is whiteboard work a shared activity? At least in my experience, that's vanishingly rare. It's almost always just a visual aid for one person communicating with a bunch of others.
