FAQs

Digital whiteboards provide a shared virtual canvas where teams can collaborate in real time across remote, hybrid, and in-office environments by sketching ideas, creating flowcharts and diagrams, and organizing projects using templates, drawing tools, and sticky notes. In educational settings, students and teachers use digital whiteboards to participate in interactive lessons, work on group assignments, and create visual study materials through features like annotation tools, diagrams, and mind maps, making learning more engaging whether in physical classrooms or virtual environments.

Yes, you can create a whiteboard online using digital whiteboard tools that provide a shared virtual canvas for collaboration — it’s similar to using a physical whiteboard but is more accessible to all participants. Zoom's online whiteboards offer an easy way to get started by providing access to more than 250 ready-made templates for activities like mind mapping, project planning, and flowcharts. You can begin using templates right away by opening a whiteboard in Zoom and selecting from the template library, then sharing it with team members who have Zoom accounts or with a visitor link so you can work together in real time, or asynchronously on your own time.

Digital whiteboards offer several benefits for team collaboration: They offer a shared virtual workspace for real-time brainstorming and decision-making, support learning opportunities and communication, and allow teams to work together regardless of their physical location. The collaborative nature of online whiteboards helps boost engagement and creativity while keeping everyone aligned on projects through visual aids like journey maps, flowcharts, and diagrams that make complex ideas easier to understand.

 

With Zoom's suite of productivity tools, teams can easily switch between whiteboarding sessions, group chat conversations, and video meetings without leaving the platform, making collaboration more efficient and reducing context switching.

When choosing a whiteboarding tool, look for one that combines robust core capabilities like drawing tools and templates, collaboration features that enable real-time teamwork, and security controls to protect your content and manage access.

Digital online whiteboards are accessible through several free options that provide essential whiteboard capabilities but may not offer the seamless collaboration features available with Zoom.
