Whiteboard

Overview

The whiteboard allows participants to draw, annotate, handwrite and copy & paste. It is optimized for graphic tablets.

By default, only the host and the presenter have access to edit and page up/down, and they can enable the Collaborative Whiteboard for all participants.

It is also possible to allow each attendee to work privately on a separate whiteboard page, with the Split Whiteboard option.

At any time, participants can save the whiteboard as a PDF file.
