Whiteboard overview

Whiteboard allows everyone in a meeting to draw and type simultaneously. You can add and delete Whiteboard pages, draw shapes, type text, and emphasize an item using the Highlighter or the Remote Pointer.

You can copy and paste items between the Whiteboard and other programs, and from windows and areas of your desktop to the Whiteboard. Then, you can use Whiteboard's tools to further illustrate the objects. Other meeting participants can see your work without having access to your desktop.

Synchronization allows everyone to automatically view the same Whiteboard page. If you want to work on a page privately, you can remove synchronization to stop the page from displaying automatically, however, other participants can still open the page by navigating to it manually. Removing synchronization does not affect other participant's view of the current page.

NetMeeting 3.0 has two versions of Whiteboard: the standard Whiteboard and NetMeeting 2.x Whiteboard. The standard Whiteboard conforms to industry standards, though both versions contain the same features. If everyone in the meeting is using Netmeeting 3.0, the standard Whiteboard is used by default. Otherwise, the 2.x Whiteboard is used by default.
