Companion

Utility app to interact and participate with Whiteboard

Add instances to myViewBoard

Entity admins can use the Companion app to enroll their myViewBoard installations under their Entity. Once added, admins can remotely update the settings of one or more myViewBoard instances through the Software Instances page on the ViewSonic portal.


Admins signed in with the Companion app can auto-register the device under their entity by simply scanning the QR code on the device, eliminating the need to fill out a form or input sign-in details.
