Extension summary

XPress for Chrome is an intuitive whiteboarding extension for the Chrome browser. XPress enables traditional whiteboarding with a solid colored background (white, black or any color you want). Even more exciting is the ability to set background color to transparent enabling annotation over any web content displayed in your Chrome browser. Web content remains ‘live’ and you can annotate over top of it. Draw, highlight, use shapes and even drop images and live USB camera feeds on top of the web content or whiteboard page. Save your pages or copy them and paste them into other applications. Works very nicely with touch enabled laptops or Chromebooks or devices connected to touch enabled displays.

New in v. 2.1.4:

  • Camera fixed;

Occasionally, XPress logo bar and/or some annotation may be duplicated in whole page screenshot.
