Whiteboard (Desktop)

Whiteboard allows users to draw on the video screen for real-time collaboration during a meeting. Draw shapes, highlight a region, drag and drop images, snap to grid, and more. Desktop participants can start a whiteboard session with other participants and then download the results (.png, .pdf, or .svg) when they're done.

Mobile users can view but not participate in a whiteboard session. Other participants can collaborate in a whiteboard session as long as they use the desktop app.

Whiteboard is available in meetings with 50 or fewer participants. Any desktop participants can start a whiteboard. Screenshare is not available during a whiteboard session, so end a whiteboard session before sharing your screen.

Start a Whiteboard Session

Select Whiteboard in the meeting toolbar to start a whiteboard session. If someone already started it, you can join by adding a component. On the whiteboard, you will see your cursor with your name.

End a Whiteboard Session

Before ending the session, let the other desktop participants save the whiteboard to their computers. Mobile participants have no options to download.

To end a whiteboard session, select End Whiteboard in the meeting toolbar. Only the host and the participant who started the whiteboard session will see a pop-up with an option to download the whiteboard before the session ends. When you confirm in the pop-up, the session ends for everyone.
