ShareTheBoard and Panopto Integration.
The ShareTheBoard + Panopto Integration allows users to seamlessly digitize and capture real-time whiteboard annotations and integrate them into Panopto recordings and live webcasts directly within the Panopto platform, streamlining content creation for educational and training environments. This solution transforms any standard whiteboard into an always-legible, interactive content source without requiring specialized hardware.
Key Features & Functionality:
Real-time Whiteboard Digitization: ShareTheBoard’s computer vision detects and enhances whiteboard and blackboard content in real time, making handwritten content visible while maintaining the transparency of the presenter and any other obstacles.
Integrated Content Camera: The ShareTheBoard Virtual Camera Driver (“Content Camera”) can be selected as a video or content source within Panopto for Windows, Panopto Capture, or Panopto Remote Recorder, enabling live or on-demand whiteboard capture via a truly seamless integration.
Enhanced Visual Clarity & Presenter Transparency: Handwritten content is digitally extracted and layered to ensure legibility. The speaker can be made to appear fully transparent or ghosted to any desired degree – including a content-only view of the board, free from obstructions, glare or shadows.
Board Memory & Intelligent Transcription: Supplement session recordings with Board Memory – an interactive replay of board contents, complete with transcriptions and analysis. Drive viewer engagement by eliminating the need to copy board contents. Save time and reduce errors by turning handwritten notes into editable, properly formatted digital content.
Personalized Accessibility: During live webcasts, viewers can increase contrast, zoom in on board contents or rewind them at any time. Individual frames can be saved in a number of formats and digital annotations allow viewers to contribute to your board in real time. Deliver accessibility tailored to each viewer, including those who may be neurodivergent with visual or mobility impairments.
Key Benefits:
Guaranteed Board Legibility: First of all, enjoy crystal-clear board contents in any environment – directly in your Panopto recordings and live webcasts.
Automated Whiteboard Capture: Automated digitization and capture of whiteboard content, eliminating the need for manual transcription or special hardware.

Ideal Use Cases & Applications:
Higher Education Lecture Capture: Instructors can annotate in real-time while remote learners view clear, digitized whiteboard content—both during and after live sessions, ideal for complex subjects like technical or engineering courses.
Hybrid Classrooms and Corporate Training: Combines physical presence and digital clarity for both in-person and remote attendees, allowing remote participants to contribute digital content and easily review recorded training sessions.
Classroom and Corporate Accessibility: Viewers with visual impairments enjoy unobstructed and zoomable content, while those with learning difficulties can review content at an individualized pace without disruption or stigma.
Course Prep and Productivity: Handwritten contents are automatically transcribed into editable, properly formatted digital equivalents. Teachers can save time easily converting board contents into assignments and tests, eliminating the need for error-prone manual transcription or rework.
