We have already introduced you to the basic information about our WebBoard, a great online collaboration tool designed for the needs of individuals looking for a simple, creative and effective solution for their remote collaboration and communication needs. Now, we would like to get more into detail about all the amazing features WeBoard has to offer.
WebBoard has many different features all designed in order to make online collaboration easier and more effective.
- Responsive layout
Responsive web design is an approach to web design aimed at creating sites that provide an optimal viewing experience. It offers easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling across a wide range of devices. WebBoard was designed with that in mind. We know that most users today access the web from mobile devices, so we found it necessary to enable them to view their boards from any device at a good perspective. The responsive layout removes the annoyance of having to reposition your viewport or zoom in or out to view your board properly on all devices. This enables all board participants with whom the board is shared to see the board scaled to the viewport of the device they are using. This all leads to better collaborating and drawing experience.
- Touch friendly
Touch friendly apps are no longer a nice-to-have feature, but an expectation among software users. WebBoard has a touch friendly interface that enables you to draw whichever way you prefer. You can use your mouse, finger, touch pad or touch pen at any device. This is a very important feature because we think that personalizing your WeBoard experience will even further maximize your performance, make sharing ideas easier, and utilize your creativity.
- Advanced drawing tools
WebBoard ’s amazing drawing tools allow you to be as creative as you want, creating sketches and drawings which will help you to easily express your ideas. From pen and shape tools, to image, video and PDF uploads, WeBoard has it all. Everything you draw becomes an object that you can later modify. Our drawing tools include the following:

- Audio/video/text chat
WebBoard 's audio, video and text chat features enable you to hold or join lectures and meetings and communicate your ideas with others easily and effectively.Video and audio conferences are a feature that businesses use greatly, because it has a host of benefits for everyone involved. It saves money, time, and allows the participants who won’t get a chance to meet in person to develop a stronger sense of familiarity, which is important for collaboration and team-work. We think it is important to make the process as seamless as possible and to give you the opportunity to experience the benefits of remote conferencing in its entirety.
- File sharing
File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media. When communicating with your team, your students, or your coworkers, having a simple and easy tool to share files with is of great importance. That’s why WebBoard has a file-sharing system that allows you to share multiple files to multiple users at a same time. Before sharing, files are saved in your in-app storage, which allows you to reuse entire boards for different teams without having to re-share your files. When you share content in the Share panel, participants will be notified and can view and download the shared content in the Share panel. The file formats supported in the Share panel are JPG, PNG, SWF, PPT, PPTX, PDF, FLV, F4V, MP3, MP4, and ZIP.
- Screen sharing and recording
A screencast is a digital video recording of your computer screen. Screencasts are greatly used in online lecturing and instructing, and are a great way for software developers to show their work. WebBoard allows you to take advantage of this useful feature by enabling you to capture your screen and share it with your team members. You can also record your screen, save it in your in-app storage, and review, share or edit it later.
- Collaboration mode
Collaboration mode allows you to share WebBoard content between multiple organizations by creating a collaboration and collaboration workspace, and invite participants to join. The organization where the collaboration is created is the host, and participants are guests. Participants can all edit the board, which makes it possible for multiple people to work on the same project at the same time. - Teacher mode
If you want to be the only one to edit the board during lectures, you can use WebBoard's teacher mode. While using WebBoard app, teachers have access to additional WebBoard Live features and customization options.
As you can see, WebBoard offers you a variety of useful features all designed in order for our users to express and share their ideas with others easily and effectively. Whether you are a lecturer, a manager or a software developer, you will find great use in these amazing features that will improve your online collaboration and communication experience.
