Overview
How it works
First things first, here’s a quick summary of how ShareTheBoard (STB) makes it possible to share your whiteboard online – legibly and interactively.
Easy setup
The presenter positions her laptop (or, if available, a camera installed in the room) to capture herself working at her whiteboard. She turns on ShareTheBoard
Multiple sharing options
The presenter joins her viewers in a video conference (she has many ways to do so). Her viewers see the contents of her board clearly and without obstruction.
Viewer contributions
Her viewers can activate Board View, allowing them to add content of their own. Their content shows up right alongside the presenter’s, in real time.
Remote whiteboarding
Everyone in the meeting sees all contributions. This includes the presenter: as long as she can see her laptop, she can address her viewers’ additions. And all content is auto-saved.
ONBOARDING
Laughably
simple setup
Worst case scenario, setup takes about 60 seconds. Best case? Zero.
1
Automatic surface detection
ShareTheBoard is smart enough to identify most whiteboards, chalkboards, flip charts, or even pieces of paper automatically. To get started, simply point your camera at the surface you’d like to share and the app does the rest.
2
Angle correction
Whiteboards viewed online are sometimes shared at a strange angle. ShareTheBoard allows you to rectify that viewing angle and zoom in on the whiteboard as needed.
3
Spatial zeroing
Trying to share a more complex surface? No problem: identify your shared surface manually. With spatial zeroing you can identify an area composed of multiple surfaces and tell ShareTheBoard which spaces to ignore.

LEGIBILITY
Content is king
Our proprietary and industry-leading content detection algorithms ensure that your board contents are legible and unobstructed

Content amplification
Even when using new markers, content written on whiteboards can look pale through a webcam. ShareTheBoard identifies and amplifies all handwritten content in real time.

Obstacle avoidance
Whiteboards viewed online are often obstructed by those who are writing on them. ShareTheBoard identifies presenters and makes them appear transparent to remote viewers.

Board View
Your remote viewers have the option of viewing your shared surface with overlaid video or in a content-only mode. We call this mode Board View – it’s like giving your viewers a front row seat to your board.

INTERACTIVITY
Engage your remote viewers
The key to strong engagement is participation. Now your remote viewers can contribute directly to the discussion and to your board.
1
Digital annotations
Now you can truly engage remote viewers or those participants in the tenth row. In Board View, everyone can contribute digital annotations directly to your whiteboard. Their content contributions appear alongside yours, in real time.

Viewer controls
Give your viewers the tools they need to succeed. In addition to adding annotations, remote participants can zoom in on any part of the board and save snapshots of board contents at any time.

Coming soon: True remote whiteboarding via deviceless AR
For now, presenters need to rely on their laptops to see their participants’ digital annotations. In the not-too-distant future, presenters will have the option for a synchronized projector to deliver those annotations directly onto their whiteboard.
CONTENT CAPTURE
Secure data and productivity
No more security breaches caused by pictures of boards taken with personal devices. No more lost notes. Turn your whiteboard into a trusted scribe and keep everyone focused on the topic at hand.
