The whiteboard is a shared drawing surface you can bring up during a session — useful for sketching ideas, annotating a discussion, or working through something visually with everyone on the call. When someone turns on the whiteboard, it appears as a shared tile in the room for every participant at the same time. Everyone sees the same canvas, and everyone can draw on it — there’s no single “presenter” of the whiteboard the way there is with screen share.
The whiteboard persists: Drawings stay on the board between sessions in the same room. Closing the whiteboard or ending the session does not erase it — the board only empties when someone clears it using the Reset tool.

​
Opening and closing the whiteboard

The whiteboard is turned on and off from the Bottom Bar during a session.

​
To open the whiteboard

Click the Whiteboard button in the Bottom Bar. The whiteboard appears immediately for everyone in the room, showing the board exactly as it was left last time.

​
To close the whiteboard

Click the Whiteboard button again, the board disappears for everyone. The drawing itself isn’t affected — it’s still there the next time the whiteboard is opened.
It’s a shared toggle: Turning the whiteboard on or off affects the whole room at once — anyone can open or close it, including closing one that someone else is actively using.

​
Drawing tools

Once the whiteboard is open, a toolbar appears on the canvas with everything you need to draw and mark it up.
  • Color - Sets the color of your next stroke.
  • Pen - Draws freehand strokes on the board. Choose a brush size (small, medium, large, extra-large) and a marker style. The pen can draw in two styles:
    • Permanent — the stroke stays on the board until it’s erased or the board is reset.
    • Autofade — the stroke fades away on its own after a short time, useful for pointing something out without leaving a permanent mark.
  • Eraser - Removes parts of a drawing.
  • Screengrab - Takes a snapshot of the whiteboard as it currently looks.
    • Save locally to device — downloads the snapshot as an image directly to your computer. Nothing is saved to the room.
    • Save to media room folder — uploads the snapshot to the room’s media library, where it appears in the Files tab for everyone in the room to find later.
  • Reset - Clears the entire whiteboard for everyone in the room in one action. There’s no confirmation prompt before it happens.
