Whiteboard branding
Put your school's or your own mark on the boards you teach from.
Upload it once. Turn it on per board.
What it is
A Whiteboard branding card on the Profile tab takes one logo, used as a watermark across your whiteboards and broadcast views. The card explains the two-step arrangement: upload one logo here, and enable it per board from the whiteboard's Presentation menu.
So uploading does not brand anything by itself. It makes the logo available, and each board decides whether to show it.
Who has it
Quest and Academy. On lower plans the card is not shown.
Uploading and replacing
The buttons are Upload logo, then Replace logo and Remove logo once one exists. With none the card reads No logo uploaded.
Replacing changes it everywhere at once, including on boards already created, because the boards reference the logo rather than holding a copy.
That is usually what you want and occasionally a surprise. A recorded broadcast keeps whatever the logo was at the time; a live board picks up the new one immediately.
Choosing a logo
- A simple mark reads better as a watermark than a full lock-up with text.
- It sits over your teaching content, so something light or single-colour interferes least.
- Check it on a board with a busy page before deciding, not on an empty one.
If you are branding on behalf of a school rather than yourself, check whether your organisation has a view — an organisation can also carry its own hostname and presentation, and two competing marks on one board help nobody.
Where the watermark appears
The logo is a watermark on the board itself, so it travels with the board rather than sitting in the page furniture around it.
- The board as you teach from it, once enabled from that board's Presentation menu.
- Broadcast views, which is where it matters most — the screen other people are watching.
It is not applied to question types, Workshop objects, Virtual Lab experiments or anything exported from the analytics. Branding those is not something the platform offers.
Enabling it per board rather than globally is the right way round more often than it seems. A board you are recording for a wider audience wants the mark; a scratch board you are working through with one class does not need it, and the watermark is one more thing on a busy page.
