From your side
You’re in a session. The toolbar at the bottom of your screen has the same controls you’ve used throughout — mic, camera, Share Screen, end call.Tap Share Screen
A small picker appears next to the button. Two options: Share Screen
and Whiteboard.
Pick Whiteboard
The canvas takes over your session view. The presets menu sits top-left,
the export controls sit top-right, and the Two-way toggle sits at the
bottom-center.
Draw
Use the pen, the shape tools, drop a preset, or drag in a sticky note.
Everything you do appears on the client’s side in real time.
What your client sees
The moment you pick Whiteboard, the client’s screen-share area fills with your canvas. It looks identical to a shared desktop to them — same panel, same layout, same “you’re sharing something with me” cue they already understand. A few specifics worth knowing:- They don’t need to install anything. The whiteboard is rendered as video on their end, riding the same encrypted channel as the rest of the call.
- They watch by default. Until you flip Two-way ON, they can see the canvas but can’t draw on it.
- No icons, no toolbars, no buttons on their end. Their view is just the canvas — the controls live on your side.
- Your camera stays on. If your camera was running before you opened the whiteboard, it stays on as a thumbnail tile so the client can still see your face.
Why it lives behind Share Screen
Every video-call product worth the name puts the whiteboard inside the same button as screen-share — Zoom, Meet, Teams, Doxy all do it the same way. The reason is that practitioners and clients have already learned the muscle memory: “the thing she’s showing me lives in the screen-share area.” Putting the whiteboard behind a separate button would force everyone to learn a new mental model for the same outcome. Behind Share Screen, it just works.Switching from screen share to whiteboard mid-session
You can move between them freely. Tap Share Screen again to stop the current share, then tap it once more and pick the other option. The transition takes about a second — the client briefly sees their normal video feed, then the new shared content.Related articles
