Whether it’s during brainstorming sessions, development meetings, or just to keep track of group collaboration, using a whiteboard is a low-tech but highly effective way to make sure everyone in your group knows what’s going on.

But what about your remote team members? With traditional teleconferencing technology, whiteboards in Zoom or Teams windows can be tiny and hard to read, making it nearly impossible for remote meeting participants to follow along and meaningfully engage.

The good news is that it’s now easy and convenient to stream your whiteboard live from your conference room to remote participants no matter where they might be. With new AI-enabled whiteboard cameras, sharing your thoughts as you and your team create them is easier and more seamless than ever.

A New Way to Collaborate

As specialists in the business of audiovisual integration, we at Haverford Systems have always been on the lookout for a product that would make whiteboards a more seamless part of the teleconferencing experience. These systems, such as the Logitech Scribe, provide the features and functionality that we know our conference-room customers need in an elegant and easy-to-use format.

These cameras are typically mounted above the whiteboard and use a wide-angle lens to provide full coverage of the whiteboard surface. In addition, the AI-enabled features allow the camera to automatically make the presenter translucent in the image being seen by remote participants. Marker colors remain vibrant, and sticky-notes show up clearly. Some models include a wireless “share” button that, placed within a presenter’s reach, allows them to instantly share the whiteboard with remote meeting attendees.

Benefits for Your Team Across the Board

Whiteboard cameras are perfect for hybrid meeting setups because they:

• Allow everyone to see and engage with visual content on the board
• Make brainstorming sessions, virtual training, design reviews, or project planning accessible in real time for remote participants
• Boost collaboration for your entire team

These cameras are remarkably easy to integrate into your existing teleconferencing setup. They work with the whiteboard and markers you already have and connect to popular remote meeting platforms like Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, Google Meet Rooms, among others.

A Local A/V Partner You Can Trust

The team at Haverford Systems is made up of experts who can help you customize the perfect teleconferencing system for your office or workspace, which includes helping you decide which whiteboard camera will work best for your needs. In addition, Haverford Systems can install and integrate with your existing equipment, or help you find a new system that works for your space.
