Collaboration

Collaboration is a feature that allows you to share a board with multiple users and collaborate with them. When you start Collaboration in LG CreateBoard Lab app on your device, it synchronizes and updates changes to the board among users in real time through its cloud service.

Here’s how it works. When you execute Collaboration, you (teacher) act as a host and create a class in the cloud. You can invite your students to the class. Using the class URL and class code, they can easily join the class from their own web browsers. You can interact with your students by sharing the board and writing or drawing together on the board in real time.

How to execute

If the Tool bar already displays the Collaboration button, you can simply tap it to execute. Otherwise, tap the More button to display the entire menu and then choose Collaboration.

If you frequently use this item, refer to Customize Tool bar to pin it to the Tool bar for easy access.

Usage & tips

Collaboration can be used in a class or business meeting for multiple users to share a single board, write or draw on it, as well as communicate and collaborate with one another.
