Present directly on your whiteboard – with the presentation mode in Collaboard
Start your presentation directly on the board – without switching tools or sharing screens.
Collaboard's presentation mode makes it easy to showcase ideas and results live, with all participants automatically following along. This allows you to present content smoothly, interactively, and in the same virtual space where you created it.
Why the presentation mode in Collaboard?
No more switching back and forth between tools or sharing your screen. In presentation mode , you can show your whiteboard in real time – professionally, dynamically, and without distractions.
Everyone follows you automatically: As soon as you activate the mode, all participants move with you across the board.
Focus on content: Participants see what you present, but cannot change anything.
Flexible presenting: You remain interactive and can add new elements or edit content during the presentation.
Everyone sees the same thing
When you start your presentation, everyone automatically follows your view. Perfect for workshops, demos, or results presentations.
Safe spectator view
Only you, as the presenter, can make changes. Everyone else has viewer rights – ideal for an organized, focused presentation.

Here's how it works – step by step
- Start presentation mode: Open your whiteboard and click on "Start presentation mode". All participants will automatically follow you on the board.

- Activate focus mode: Hide all controls to focus you and your audience on the content – ​​especially suitable for projector or large screen presentations.
