Whiteboard / Screen capture & Link Screen
Screen capture and Link Screen
Link another screen, capture rectangle, freehand, or full-screen regions with optional blur, and place those captures on any whiteboard page for annotation.
Capture the useful bit. Leave the rest.
What screen capture and Link Screen are
Link Screen connects another display or surface so captures stay sticky to the screen you chose. From there you can capture a rectangle, a freehand region, or a full screen — and drop the result onto a whiteboard page as an image object.
That matters when the lesson lives across monitors: slides on one screen, board on another, or a demo app you need to crop onto the page without messy whole-desktop shares.
Why teachers link and capture
Multi-monitor lessons
Link the display that holds the demo; keep the board on your teaching screen.
Precise crops
Rectangle or freehand capture so only the useful region lands on the page.
Privacy blur
Blur levels when a capture might include something learners should not see sharp.
Any page destination
Place captures on the page you are teaching — then annotate like any image.
While a recording is active, crops can use the recording stream automatically — Link Screen is not required in that moment.
Inside Link Screen and capture
- Link Screen / Unlink — bind or release the capture surface
- Capture types — rectangle, freehand, full screen
- Privacy blur levels — reduce accidental exposure in a capture
- Stickiness invariants — keep capture behaviour predictable with broadcast and fullscreen
- Page placement — captures become objects you can move, scale, crop, and annotate
- Photo / image upload — related path for putting pictures on any page (also in Drawing tools)
How a capture lands on a page
Link the screen you want (unless already recording)
Choose the monitor or surface that holds the content.
Capture rectangle, freehand, or full screen
Apply blur if the region needs it.
Annotate on the page
Transform the image and mark it with drawing tools.
Working with Meet and recording
| Situation | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Sharing into Meet | Prefer Broadcast tab share for the board; use Link Screen for capturing other surfaces onto pages |
| Recording in progress | Crops can use the recording stream — restart recording if the stream goes stale |
| Unlink | Release a linked screen when you are done capturing from it |
