It requires no specialized hardware and works with any standard whiteboard or blackboard. The ShareTheBoard integration with Panopto connects through the ShareTheBoard Virtual Camera Driver—referred to as the Content Camera—which appears as a selectable video or content source within Panopto for Windows, Panopto Capture, and Panopto Remote Recorder. Instructors select the Content Camera as a source the same way they would any other camera input, and whiteboard content is digitized and captured as part of the Panopto recording or live webcast in real time. Recordings made with the Content Camera include Board Memory—an interactive replay of board contents with transcriptions and analysis—giving viewers a way to review handwritten material after the session without relying on the raw recording alone. During live webcasts, viewers can zoom in on board contents, increase contrast, and rewind the board independently of the main recording stream. ## Benefits - Whiteboard content is legible in every recording and live webcast—regardless of room lighting, glare, or camera angle - No specialist hardware required—works with any standard whiteboard or blackboard - ShareTheBoard appears as a selectable camera source in Panopto for Windows, Panopto Capture, and Panopto Remote Recorder - Presenter transparency is adjustable—from fully visible to fully transparent - Board Memory provides an interactive, transcribed replay of handwritten content after the session - Handwritten notes are automatically transcribed into editable digital text - Live webcast viewers can zoom, increase contrast, and rewind board contents independently - Supports accessibility needs including visual impairment and neurodivergent learning preferences ## Features - ShareTheBoard Virtual Camera Driver (Content Camera) for Panopto - Real-time whiteboard and blackboard digitization - Adjustable presenter transparency—ghosted to fully transparent - Compatible with Panopto for Windows, Panopto Capture, and Panopto Remote Recorder - Board Memory—interactive post-session replay of board contents - Automatic transcription of handwritten content to editable digital text - Live webcast viewer controls—zoom, contrast, and board rewind - Digital annotation by live webcast viewers - Individual frame saving in multiple formats - Works within existing Panopto folder and session structures ## Support and documentation - [](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Enable-and-Use-Panopto-with-Copilot-in-Microsoft-Teams)[How to install the ShareTheBoard Content Camera for Panopto recorders](https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Install-the-ShareTheBoard-Content-Camera-for-Panopto-Recorders) ## Frequently asked questions How does the ShareTheBoard Panopto integration work?ShareTheBoard installs a Virtual Camera Driver—called the Content Camera—on the recording machine. Once installed, the Content Camera appears as a selectable video or content source within Panopto for Windows, Panopto Capture, and Panopto Remote Recorder. Instructors select it as they would any other camera input. ShareTheBoard’s computer vision processes the whiteboard feed in real time, enhancing legibility and handling presenter transparency before the stream reaches Panopto. Setup guidance for installing the ShareTheBoard Content Camera for Panopto recorders is linked in the support documentation on this page. Does ShareTheBoard require specialist hardware?No. ShareTheBoard works with any standard whiteboard or blackboard and an existing room camera—no dedicated capture device or specialized display hardware is required. The computer vision processing happens through the ShareTheBoard software running on the recording machine, which then outputs the enhanced feed to Panopto through the Content Camera driver. This makes it practical to add legible whiteboard capture to existing Panopto-equipped classrooms without additional hardware procurement. What is Board Memory and how does it work in Panopto recordings?Board Memory is a feature that generates an interactive, timestamped replay of everything written on the whiteboard during a session—complete with automatic transcriptions and analysis of the handwritten content. It supplements the main Panopto recording and gives viewers a way to review board contents in detail after the session, without having to identify the relevant moments in the full recording manually. Handwritten content captured through Board Memory is also automatically transcribed into editable digital text, making it possible to convert notes, equations, or diagrams written during a lecture into a usable digital format without manual re-entry. How does ShareTheBoard improve accessibility in Panopto recordings and live webcasts?ShareTheBoard addresses several accessibility barriers that standard whiteboard recording creates. Viewers with visual impairments can zoom in on board content and increase contrast independently during live webcasts. Those who need to review material at their own pace can rewind board contents without disrupting the main recording stream. The automatic transcription of handwritten content makes written board material available in text form for viewers who benefit from reading over watching. The adjustable presenter transparency also removes a common barrier in whiteboard capture—where the instructor’s body partially obscures content for remote viewers—without requiring the instructor to change how they teach. Which Panopto recording tools does ShareTheBoard support?ShareTheBoard’s Content Camera is compatible with Panopto for Windows, Panopto Capture (browser-based recording), and Panopto Remote Recorder. It appears as a standard camera source within each tool, so it integrates into existing recording workflows without requiring a separate configuration for each recording type. ## Category Collaboration tools
