Whiteboard / Sharing & embedding
Sharing and embedding
Send a link or QR for live access, or embed a read-only snapshot in an LMS or site — with clear rules for what viewers can and cannot do.
Pass the board. Keep the limits clear.
What sharing and embedding are
Sharing puts a whiteboard in someone else’s hands through a link or QR code. Embedding places a read-only snapshot in another page — an LMS, a site, or a resource — via an iframe. Both are how a board leaves your editing tab without becoming a different product.
That matters when learners need access before class, parents need a view, or a lesson must live inside another system — with clear limits on what an embed can do.
Why teachers share and embed
Join the live room
Send a link or QR so collaborators open the same board quickly.
Self-paced review
Share a board learners can revisit after the lesson.
Embed in context
Drop a static snapshot into an LMS page or site where the course already lives.
Social and email pass-along
Optional social targets and email when the audience is wider than one class list.
Anonymous boards do not support sharing. Saved teacher boards unlock the full share and embed paths.
Inside sharing and embedding
- Share link with copy and QR code
- Require name on join where your plan and classroom settings allow
- Social share targets for wider distribution
- Email share when you want a direct send
- Embed codes — single page or all pages
- Embed sizing — width/height controls and preview
- Static read-only embeds — viewers cannot draw on the embedded snapshot
- All-pages navigation — arrows / bar to browse when embedding the whole board
How a board becomes a link or embed
Save the board to your teacher space
Embedding requires a saved board before an embed code can be generated.
Open Share
Copy the link, show the QR, or switch to the Embed tab.
Choose single page or all pages
Paste the iframe where your learners already work — knowing it is a read-only snapshot.
What embeds are — and are not
| Path | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Live share link | Opens the real board experience your plan allows (view or collab) |
| Embed iframe | Static read-only snapshot at /whiteboard/embed/… |
| Single-page embed | One page frame for a focused resource |
| All-pages embed | Browse pages with on-embed navigation |
Need live drawing with the class? Use the share link and collaboration — not the embed snapshot.
