## Description

Virtual Board is a versatile virtual whiteboard, drawboard, and paintboard designed to let you write directly on your desktop computer in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) manner. Ideal for educators, presenters, and remote learners, Virtual Board enables real-time interaction by allowing users to project their desktop writing to large audiences using projectors or during online video lessons and webinars.

This extension works in tandem with the Virtual Board Server desktop application, which requires Java. Once set up, you can easily share your notes and drawings over a local network. Additionally, the extension supports exporting your creations as PDFs or images for further use or sharing. With seamless integration and customizable settings for network configurations, Virtual Board is a practical tool for distance education, presentations, and collaborative work.

## Review summary

The app is helpful for education and content creation, but users repeatedly report intrusive ads (including inappropriate ones), onboarding privacy friction (no clear way to accept policies or proceed), and missing basic drawing/navigation features (eraser/undo, highlighting, zoom, and next/previous page controls).

### Pros

- Helpful for teaching and studying
- Useful for creating text-based content and videos
- Good for recording and teaching students

### Cons

- Ads are intrusive and sometimes show vulgar content, disrupting classes
- Privacy onboarding is broken: privacy policy with no clear next button and start obstacles
- Missing essential drawing and navigation features: eraser/undo not convenient, highlighting, zoom, and next/previous page controls
