Basics of using Draw.Chat

Boards can be created in several ways. You can create an empty board, use an image as a background, a PDF document, a map, create a multi-page board from multiple images or documents, or use a configurator to have control over all board settings.

Creating a whiteboard

You can create a whiteboard by clicking the "Create new Whiteboard" button. The board will receive a new, random address and an administrator password will be assigned to it, which will be appended to the URL to which it will be automatically redirected.

Table Interface

The table interface is divided into three main sections: the toolbar, the table workspace, and the sidebar.

The toolbar is located at the top of the screen. It contains buttons grouped in various sections: File, Drawing Tools, Navigation, Editing, Information, and a button for switching to full-screen mode.

The sidebar consists of a panel bar, a preview window, and a chat window.

The panel bar contains buttons for: hiding the panel, page preview, notifications, and conference buttons: audio, video, and desktop sharing.

The preview window contains thumbnails of the current page, audio, video, and desktop broadcasts.

The chat window contains the conversation history and a text input field.
