how to have a whiteboard on a video call?

I use this hardware, a pen tablet that costs 80USD plus openboard

I use this hardware and currently OneNote with Microsoft Teams

[Bhavik Mehta]

Although I do like the look of limnu

[Jalex Stark]

OneNote and Microsoft Teams are two pieces of software that talk to each other? The latter handles the video call and the former handles the whiteboard?

[Bhavik Mehta]

Yeah

[Bhavik Mehta]

I don't know if it's specific within my university but I can make a chat with people and create a Notebook we can all see, and call at the same time

[Bhavik Mehta]

The thing I like most about this is that the board isn't rasterised, so it's visually nicer quality

[Jalex Stark]

i see, so instead of sending a video of your board you're sending like, the vector graphics of your board

[Jalex Stark]

and they get rendered locally?

[Bhavik Mehta]

Yeah

[Bhavik Mehta]

(This is why I'd rather not use screensharing for whiteboards)

[Jalex Stark]

i know people who stream "make digital art" on twitch, I'll ask one of them how they solve this problem

[Bhavik Mehta]

My guess is that twitch only allows rasterised streaming?

[Jalex Stark]

yeah probably, it would be weird for the twitch client to do rendering work

[Bhavik Mehta]

yeah
