virtual whiteboards

Online collaborative sketching

Virtual whiteboards are digital spaces that replicate the function of physical whiteboards—shared surfaces where people can write, draw, and arrange ideas collaboratively.

They emerged as remote work tools, letting distributed teams brainstorm, diagram, and plan together in real time: We mapped out the whole project on a virtual whiteboard during the video call.

Most include features impossible on physical boards: infinite canvas, sticky notes, templates, and saved histories.
