[ARCHIVED] Can I use a drawing pad to draw on the CU whiteboard?

Can I use a drawing pad to draw on the whiteboard in Collaborate Ultra?

Hi  @herzberg  Thank You for your question.

From experience yes you can draw on Collaborate Ultra. But I'm not too sure what you mean by 'drawing pad'. Are you able to elaborate on that? Have you had a go at using it with Collaborate Ultra?

Hi Bobby. A drawing pad is a computer peripheral input device with a stylus that you press on the pad in order to draw on the computer screen. I know how to use the CU whiteboard with a mouse, but I was hoping that I could draw on it using the drawing pad.

Sorry you haven't gotten a definitive answer on this yet.  Were you able to get it work? 

[herzberg]

No, I gave up on the drawing pad because it seems not to be optimized for textual writing. More importantly, perhaps, the whiteboard on CU is so limited, I've taken to sharing handouts in videos produced on other software offline.

If you’re just going to do it for white-boarding and not drawing, look into cheaper alternatives made by XP- Pen ( https://www.xp-pen.com ) .

 Currently I use xp-pen star g640 drawing tablet with Collaborate Ultra Whiteboard for rough sketching , digital writing and note taking purpose  .
