Camera

The Camera tool is available in myViewBoard's Magic Box. With this tool, display a live feed from the attached device, as well as freeze the frame, take screenshots, annotate, or write on top of the screen.

To get started, select the camera icon in the Magic Box toolbar and start a live feed from a connected or integrated camera to your device. The camera feed will display on the canvas and allow your audience to see whatever the host is showing on the feed.
