About ten minutes for a first room, including camera positioning and marking the board area.
FEATURES & FAQ
Questions we get before every rollout
What do I actually need?
A board, a camera that can see it, a computer or STBox in the room and internet. No smart board, no new wall, no per-teacher hardware.
Read moreDo viewers install anything?
No. Students and remote participants open a browser link. Accounts exist only for presenters and admins, so nothing blocks a guest from joining.
Read moreWill it work with our stack?
ShareTheBoard runs alongside Teams, Zoom, Meet, Panopto, Echo360 and your LMS instead of replacing any of them.
Read moreSetting up your first room
Around ten minutes: place the camera so it sees the whole board, mark the board area, and start sharing. Whiteboards, blackboards and glass boards all work, and the same steps repeat for every additional room.

Security, privacy and procurement
Board data is encrypted, hosted in the region you choose and kept only as long as you configure. Single sign-on, role-based access and per-room licensing are available on organisation plans, and most institutions start with a single-room pilot.

All questions
Does it work with chalk and glass boards?
Yes. Whiteboards, blackboards and glass boards are all supported.
Do students need accounts?
No. Viewers open a link in the browser; accounts are only for presenters and admins.
What if I stand in front of the board?
The live view keeps showing the writing behind you, so nobody loses the thread.
What if I erase something?
Board Memory keeps the earlier states, so anyone can scroll back while you keep going.
Can remote people annotate?
Yes — with Content Overlay they can mark up the live board view.
Is single sign-on available?
Yes, SAML and OIDC single sign-on is available on institutional plans.
Where is data stored?
Encrypted, with regional hosting options and configurable retention.
How is it licensed?
Per room, with volume pricing for departments, campuses and districts.
