Learn how to share a whiteboard in a share pod during Adobe Connect session.

A host or presenter (or a participant with the necessary rights) can use a whiteboard to create collaborative text, drawings, and annotations in a meeting.

Note:

Adobe Connect administrators can change pod, sharing, and other settings to adhere to standards for governance. These settings affect the layout of meeting rooms and what you can do in meeting rooms. For more information, see Working with compliance and control settings.

Provide drawing rights to participants

Hosts and Presenters can let any participant draw on whiteboard by granting the drawing rights in three ways.

Note:

Participants cannot turn on the Drawing mode for Share pods with these rights. Only Hosts and Presenters can enable the Drawing mode.

  • To provide drawing rights to individuals, select the name from the Attendee list and from the pop up menu, select Drawing. Deselect the option to revoke the rights.
Enable drawing rights for individuals from the Attendees pod.

  • To provide drawing rights in a specific whiteboard to all the participants, select Allow Participants to Draw from the pod's context menu. Deselect the option to revoke the rights in the whiteboard, for all the participants.

  • You can grant universal drawing rights to all participants in all pods, from the in-meeting Preferences dialog. This preference is remembered for every session using the meeting room.

Create and display a whiteboard

A whiteboard allows hosts or presenters to create text, shapes, insert some symbols, and draw freehand drawings in real time during a meeting. By providing drawing rights to some or all the participants, meeting hosts can facilitate better collaboration. Users can zoom in and pan the whiteboard for a better experience.

You can use a whiteboard in two different ways in a Share pod:

  • A stand-alone whiteboard allows presenters to create content on a white background.

  • An overlay whiteboard allows presenters to create content over an existing document in a Share pod, adding annotations to and drawing on the document. You can lay a whiteboard over presentations, JPG, and PDF documents.

    If you turn off sharing, change the content in a Share pod, or close the Share pod, the whiteboard is still part of the meeting room. It can be displayed again.
