FAQs about the best whiteboard online

A truly efficient online whiteboard is built for team workflows and collaboration, replacing the traditional in-office whiteboard. Some important features include:

  • Integrations with other apps, as well as the functionality to attach links, images, videos, and documents directly to the whiteboard
  • Facilitation tools, such as timers and breakout rooms
  • Customizable templates
  • Activities for voting and feedback
  • AI-powered features for idea generation and summaries

There are many reasons teams should consider using online whiteboards. Here are a few:

  • Instant documentation: Whiteboards can auto-save important information to the cloud, so data is easily found and never lost.
  • Higher engagement: When online whiteboards have interactive tools like sticky notes and drawings, it makes it easier and more exciting for participants to take an active role in the session.
  • Immediate clarity: Complex ideas or concepts that can’t be explained in text or an email can be easily grasped when they’re mapped out visually.
