  2. Click the second option at the top, Whiteboard.
  3. Click Share.
  4. You can show and hide the Whiteboard tools, known as annotation tools [4], by pressing the Whiteboard option in the meeting controls.
  5. Use the page controls on the bottom-right corner of the whiteboard to create and switch between pages. Note: Only the host or the participant who began sharing the whiteboard is capable of creating and switching pages.
  6. To end sharing the whiteboard, click Stop Share.


Having multiple whiteboards in a meeting is possible if simultaneous screen sharing is on. This allows more than one participant to share a whiteboard. However, to see two whiteboards at once or your own whiteboard and another participant's, you will need to have dual monitors [5] enabled.
