Everyone draws on one board.
Set up a shared canvas, show a QR code or join code, and let the whole room draw, jot and sketch together from their phones. One phone hosts; a laptop, tablet, or big screen makes a great stage.
How Live Whiteboard works
- Create a board and show the QR code or short join code.
- Participants open the drawing page and can start sketching right away.
- Every stroke, shape and word lands on the shared canvas for everyone, with live cursors so you can see who's drawing where.
- Strokes reach the board through a live browser-to-browser WebRTC connection.
Built for collaboration
Use it for brainstorming, teaching, Pictionary, meetings, design sprints and games — anyone can pick the pen, eraser, shapes, colors, text or a size.
Host anywhere
Run it from one phone, a laptop or a tablet, and show the shared board on a projector or TV so the whole room stays in sync.
Privacy and connection limits
Live Whiteboard does not require accounts and it does not save a central board file. The host browser holds the current board in memory. PeerJS Cloud is used for a short connection setup; after that, drawing flows over WebRTC data channels. Some restrictive networks may need relay infrastructure, and the board is reset when the host page closes.
Frequently asked questions
Do participants need an app or account?
No. They scan the QR code or open the join link in a current browser.
Can people draw at the same time?
Yes. Everyone shares one canvas, so collaborators race or work together and see each stroke and cursor instantly.
Does the board save?
The board lives in the host browser's memory and is cleared when the host page closes. Use a screen recorder to keep a copy.
