What It Is

ShareTheBoard is positioned as a whiteboard digitization and remote collaboration tool, rather than a platform for selling course content. Through its web app, Windows desktop virtual camera, Zoom Companion App, and Panopto integration, it streams content from physical whiteboards, blackboards, flip charts, and even paper to online or in-person audiences in real time, while improving readability.

Core Capabilities

In education and course-delivery scenarios, its focus is on live teaching, hybrid classrooms, and recorded lectures. The system can automatically detect the writing surface, correct the viewing angle, and use Content Overlay so that content remains visible even when the instructor is standing in front of the board; Board View provides an unobstructed view. Viewers can zoom, take screenshots, and add digital annotations in the browser, while instructors can control contributed content. Board Memory supports in-class or post-class replay, and intelligent transcription can convert handwritten content into editable text for summarization or analysis. The official materials also emphasize its accessibility value for learners with visual impairments, dyslexia, ADHD, mobility impairments, and other needs.

Pricing and Limitations

Pricing is subscription-based. The individual PRO plan costs $18/month, or the equivalent of $12/month when billed annually; EXPERT costs $24/month, or the equivalent of $16/month annually. For organizations, TEAM is $24/month/seat and ROOM is $88/month/seat, with annual discounts available; enterprise plans are customized. A 7-day PRO trial is available, and teachers/students can apply for a 25% discount on PRO. It does not provide certificates or course accreditation, and supported teaching languages are not disclosed.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are that it requires no proprietary hardware—an ordinary PC, camera, and whiteboard are enough—and it fits well into existing teaching and lecture-recording workflows such as Zoom and Panopto. It preserves instructors’ natural handwriting habits while improving the experience for remote students. The drawbacks are that the Mac desktop version is not expected until 2026, and the current desktop virtual camera is mainly for Windows; advanced organization management, SLA, dedicated training, and similar features require higher-tier plans or add-ons. It solves the problem of “making the whiteboard clear and saving it,” not the production of course content itself.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is well suited to university instructors, corporate trainers, meeting-room teams, heavy whiteboard users, and institutions that care about accessible learning. Access from mainland China and supported payment methods are not specified in the reviewed materials and need to be tested in practice. If access is unstable, alternatives such as Zoom Whiteboard, Microsoft Whiteboard, Miro, Mural, or Panopto’s native lecture-recording features may be worth considering.
