Whiteboard / Broadcasting
Broadcasting
Open a clean broadcast popup so Meet, Zoom, or a projector sees the board — while you keep editing, freeze pages, and lead viewers from your main screen.
Clean view for the room. Full tools for you.
What broadcasting is
Broadcast opens a clean popup window that shows the board without your editing chrome. Viewers can follow your page; you can freeze a page; your editing screen stays usable. It is the path teachers use when Google Meet, Zoom, or a second display needs a distraction-free TeachForge view.
That matters online and in hybrid rooms: share the broadcast tab into the meeting, keep tools on your main screen, and avoid showing every sidebar to the class.
Why teachers broadcast
Clean Meet / Zoom share
Share the broadcast popup tab — not your cluttered editor.
Freeze a beat
Hold a page steady while you talk or prepare the next move.
Follow the teacher
Viewers track your page unless frozen — less “what page are we on?”
In-room projection
Put the clean view on a projector or second monitor while you drive from the editor.
Broadcast is Standard+, owner only. When Teaching tools is open, the B shortcut may bookmark instead — use the Broadcast control in the UI.
Inside broadcasting
- Start / stop broadcast — opens or closes the popup
- Live follow — viewers follow you unless a page is frozen
- Freeze — hold the shared page
- Watermark on broadcast — same branding rules as presentation watermarks
- Share-this-tab tip — for Meet/Zoom, share the broadcast tab for best results
- Timer on broadcast — optional classroom timer visibility on the shared view
How a broadcast goes live
Start Broadcast from the board
A clean popup opens; your editor stays put.
Share that popup/tab into Meet or to a display
Prefer “share a tab” over sharing your entire editing desktop.
Teach, freeze, and stop when done
Freeze to hold a page; stop broadcast when the shared view should end.
Online vs face-to-face
| Setting | Broadcast pattern |
|---|---|
| Online meeting | Broadcast popup → share that tab in Meet/Zoom |
| Classroom projector | Broadcast or fullscreen clean view on the room display; edit on the teacher machine |
| Hybrid | Same broadcast feed can serve both remote viewers and the room display |
Capture and Link Screen have their own invariants with Meet and recording — use them when you need still images on a page, not when you only need a live shared view.
