Computer Whiteboard

Easy Whiteboard is a software to emulate a computer whiteboard. It basically lets the user draw basic forms and objects on the whole computer screen making it an ideal tool during presentations, video conferences or other kinds of meetings where the computer monitor is being shown.

The computer whiteboard software is unfortunately only available in German which should not be a huge problem as it is completely icon driven. The toolbar looks similar to image editor toolbars and should not pose a problem for none German speaking users.

The software will display a small window with a Start button after launch. Pressing the start button will activate the whiteboard mode on the computer. The computer screen is a full whiteboard from that moment on until the user presses the Fertig (Done) button.

The computer whiteboard software works flawlessly without lags or visual problems. It is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

   Great tip Martin and the German is not a problem.
   The fact that the website could make you think ( in German) “das leden is wie a Hühnerstall durch alle Scheiße, werden sie nicht vorab kommen”.

   Of course, every Linux installation with Compiz has whiteboard and draw-on-the-screen functions built in.

   @Kamal:
   How could someone with no access to the source code possibly know that?
