Business	Education

Wireless Presentation is a feature of Whiteboard that allows the whiteboard host to share their screen and audio, and also to receive others' screens and audio feeds. Whiteboard for Windows fully supports this feature, and most ViewBoard models running Whiteboard for Android also support this feature. For Android devices that do not have Wireless Presentation supported, see myViewBoard Live.

Enabling Wireless Presentation in Whiteboard

Wireless Presentation is natively supported in Whiteboard for Windows.

Some Android devices do not support Wireless Presentation. Those that do can currently only support one input feed at a time (one student sharing their screen to the device running Whiteboard for Android). For Android, myViewBoard shows the Wireless Presentation icon if the device meets the following requirements:

Whiteboard for Android version is at least 1.11.6. To see the version, click the gear icon on the title bar, then the "i" icon.
Mobile OS must be at least Android 7. To check your Android version, launch the Settings screen, then go to System > About > Android version.
WebView version is at least 61.0.3163.98. To check your system's WebView version, launch the Settings screen, then go to Apps > All Apps (menu name varies depending on OS version) and look for Android System WebView.

Make sure you are signed in to Whiteboard with your myViewBoard account.
Click the Wireless Presentation icon on the title bar at the top of the screen.
On the Wireless Presentation window, click the red Wireless Presentation icon to enable screen sharing.
