Tired of snapping a photo of your whiteboard, only to lose those brilliant ideas in your camera roll? Or wrestling with clunky digital tools that don’t feel natural? In today’s hybrid world, disconnected whiteboarding slows teams down.
Over the past year, we’ve overhauled whiteboarding on Cisco devices. Our solution is now fully web-based, delivering a consistent, intuitive experience across your Cisco Board Pro, Webex app, and web browser. This means effortless capture and sharing of ideas, making whiteboarding a natural extension of your daily workflow.
Workflow Reimagined: From Idea to Action, Seamlessly
No more lost ideas or cumbersome saving. We’ve made whiteboarding fluid and integrated:
- 3-Tap Save: Brainstorming on a Cisco Board Pro? Simply tap “Save,” select your name (auto-suggested if paired), and in a few taps, your board is instantly saved to your Webex app. No more photos!
- Instant Access, Anywhere: Your saved board immediately appears in your Webex app’s Whiteboard Home Tab. Continue editing on your laptop, add richer content, and easily share with colleagues for asynchronous collaboration.
- Seamless Return: Pick up exactly where you left off. Easily open any saved whiteboard on a large Board Pro for your next session, leveraging its expansive canvas.
The Canvas Comes Alive: Natural Tools for Natural Thinking
We’ve dramatically enhanced the canvas with intuitive interactions that just feel right:
- Intuitive Pen & Finger: Your active pen always draws, while your finger always moves, manipulates, and selects. No more frustrating tool-swapping on a large screen.
- Implicit Grouping: Add a sticky, jot notes on top, or include an emoji. Tap the sticky, and everything moves together. This natural grouping simplifies organization without complex steps.
- Unleash Creativity with Images: A huge customer ask, now a reality! Easily add images to your whiteboards – from UI screenshots to SWOT templates. Ink directly on top with flexible layer ordering for ultimate creative freedom.
- Smarter Batch Eraser: Accidentally erased too much? Our new eraser gives you a clear preview, and a single “undo” tap brings the entire erased section back.
- Ephemeral Ink & Cursors: Use disappearing ink (like a laser pointer) for shared focus, and see collaborators’ cursors to enhance understanding.
The Cisco Advantage: Everyday Whiteboarding, Elevated
Cisco’s whiteboarding is designed for the everyday collaborator, solving the “80% user’s need” with powerful yet intuitive tools that offer significant value:
