[ARCHIVED] Canvas whiteboard - pasting images

[leontis]

Can you paste an image to discuss into the whiteboard on Canvas Conferences?

Hi 

I have had a look as this runs on BigBlueButton, unfortunately, at this time, it appears the whiteboard is only for drawing, you can have a look at their support article on how to use the whiteboard here https://support.blindsidenetworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023119332-Use-the-multi-user-whiteboard- 

I think you would need to present your screen as the alternative option, but you can not then have multiple users annotate it.

I hope that helps!

I found you can print the image as a PDF, then upload the PDF as a presentation, then you have a image you can annotate that.
