Whiteboard

WHAT IS WHITEBOARD?

Whiteboard is a collaborative whiteboard right inside Discord. You can use tools to draw, write text, add images, upload images, add shapes, and search for and post GIFs and Stickers! Boards are saved automatically, so you can come back to your creations over and over again over multiple sessions. It’s not just what you create, it’s the fun of creating it together!

HOW TO USE WHITEBOARD

You can use Whiteboard to create anything you like, from drawings to diagrams to fun birthday cards, but here are some hot tips!

Create & Find Saved Boards

When you open Whiteboard, you’ll land on the board that was most recently updated within the channel. If you’d like to use a different board, you can create a new one or navigate to an existing board.

1. Tap the hamburger icon (also known as the menu icon) in the top left corner of the board.

2. Browse the boards that are stored in the channel.

3. Tap to open a board, or create a new one.

• Your boards are automatically saved to the channel or group message that it was created in. You can create, and view all boards in that space, from the board menu. If a board is not active for 90 days it will expire.

• Note: Whiteboard is an activity that allows everyone in voice to join (unlimited participants) but is optimized for up to 12 participants at the same time. More people can join the activity, but performance may decline when more people are interacting with the whiteboard, and the more elements placed on the board.

Board Access

Boards are saved within a channel or a direct message group. Anyone with access to that channel/group will have access to the boards within that space. If you wish to limit who can access the boards, you can create a private channel or group to use Whiteboard in.
