How do I use the whiteboard?

Draw and annotate on blank whiteboards and slides

As a presenter, you are able to bring up slides, powerpoints and even just a blank whiteboard and begin drawing and annotating on it. What you do with these tools will appear for presenters, attendees and in the recording.

In the studio, look for the share content button. Click on it, then click on share presentation. From here you can choose to launch a blank whiteboard, open a pre-loaded file, or upload a new file to present.

   

Once you have added a presentation, you'll see some options at the top of the presentation screen. You'll see a setting for Drawing and enable that to see the annotation options. For blank whiteboards, this setting will automatically be on. With these tools you can free draw, draw shapes, or type in free text. Click on the second Drawing option that appears to choose the type of drawing to use.

Note that webinars must be in interactive mode for attendees to be able to see this option.
