How to use an online whiteboard?

You benefit from using and online whiteboard during company meetings, brainstorming sessions, interviews, teaching or just having fun with friends!

Planning & Brainstorming

Whiteboards are the perfect tool to help during planning and brainstorming sessions. People like to write on the whiteboard for a reason. Big companies have many whiteboards in their offices.

We want to bring this experience and joy to the web, so remote teams can also enjoy the benefits of having a whiteboard in their office.

You can make quick sketches of your diagrams, use different colors with different meanings. Others can see your cursor, and you see theirs. It allows everyone to easily understand and follow what everyone is talking about.

Undo functionality allows you to make quick sketches that can be removed with a few key-presses.

You can easily plan your next batch of features and discuss your plans and ideas more visually and interactively. One image is worth a thousand words!

After you are done with the interactive drawing, you can export your creations to a high-quality PNG, which is usable as-is (as we like to do it). If you require a professionally designed diagram, the export can be used as a source to create a more formal and final image with any of your favorite diagramming tools.

Sticky notes allows you to organize stuff into different categories. Whether you are doing a kanban board in a software development team or deciding on your next business move in a priority matrix.

Don't forget to check our library of pre-made whiteboard templates from which many are specialized for categorizing sticky notes.

Teaching & Explanation

Teachers around the globe use whiteboards to assist them with their explanations. With Onlineboard, you can hold your class online without a problem.. Your students will love the interactivity of your lessons.

As opposed to sharing a screen during a conference call, Onlineboard does not require a speedy internet to transfer the drawings, as they are transferred in a much more compact way than a video sharing.

With Onlineboard, conference calls do not have to start with an obnoxious "Do you see what I am sharing?" ice-breaker. Your students can follow you and see the same stuff as you in real-time.

Onlineboard works whether you are teaching mathematics, chemistry, or even computer science.

Our whiteboard also works great with a graphical tablet, so you can use your stylus to write on the board.

You can enable read-only mode for your students if you want. All participants can use pointer tool to indicate what they are talking about as they would do in real-life.

Drawing & Art

It turns out that our whiteboard app is an especially good multiplayer drawing board.

You can play with our new experimental drawing features and be the Leonardo DaVinci of this age. Create wonderful drawings and then sell them as non-fungible tokens to become a millionaire!

Some people use Onlineboard for a free-time drawing, and you are welcome to do so too!

Let's start the new era of collaborative digital arts! Connect your graphical tablet and start drawing.

You can also read about pen and pencil games that can be played on online whiteboard.
