26+ ready-to-teach templates · multiplayer · built-in

Pick a template.
Teach. Done.

A real-time, multi-cursor whiteboard sitting next to your video — with 26+ teaching-ready scaffolds. KG number boxes through Class 11 periodic tables, brainstorms, SWOT, mind maps, lab reports. Pick one in two clicks and you're teaching, not setting up.

The template library

26ready-to-teach boards, grouped by what you’re teaching.

None of these are “starter shapes” you spend 20 minutes wiring up. Pick a card → the board opens with the layout, labels, and prompts pre-placed. You add the words.

In an Indian classroom

What the board actually does between 7 pm and 9 pm.

Three scenarios from the educators we work with most.

Vedic maths · Class 5

“I open the Times table grid template, multiply 13 by 9 the Vedic way live, then drop the same board into the cohort feed so kids who missed it can replay.”

Templates + features used

  • Times table grid template (Class 3-5)
  • Multi-cursor — two kids race a row each
  • Saved to the past-class page automatically

NEET Biology · Class 11-12

“Lab report template gives me Hypothesis · Method · Results · Conclusion already laid out. I diagram the experiment, students copy into their notebooks, recording links the board to the explanation.”

Templates + features used

  • Lab report template (Teaching)
  • Frayer model for term-of-the-day
  • Board attaches to the recording sidebar

JEE coaching · Cohort weekly

“OKR planner on Sunday for the week's targets. Sprint retro on Saturday — Liked · Learned · Lacked · Longed for. Same tool, two ends of the week. Parents see the recap auto-post in the community feed.”

Templates + features used

  • OKR planner + Sprint retrospective
  • Boards inline in the Common Room feed
  • Members react with 🎉 when they hit the OKR

Real-time multi-cursor. Now, not 'soon.'

Open the same board in two browsers and you’ll see two cursors moving at the same time — colour-coded per participant. Edits sync via the LiveKit data channelyou’re already paying for, so a 20-student class draws on one canvas with zero extra infra. No standalone whiteboard licence. No “upgrade to collaborative.”
  • Named cursors with per-participant colour — Renu blue, Anaya rose, you in primary
  • Edits stream live — no refresh-to-sync, no merge dialogs
  • Students can request edit access; you approve from the same panel (no leaving the call)
  • Read-only mode for late joiners catching up — they see the board, can't disturb it
  • Snapshot per session — 'the board at minute 14' survives the class end

One board per class, plus a standalone library.

Every live class auto-attaches its own board. End the class, the board stays — students revisit from the past-class page. Need a scratchpad outside any class? /dashboard/whiteboards is a full canvas library with auto-generated thumbnails, search, and folders. Drag-drop, rename, duplicate — same patterns as the rest of the app.
  • Per-session boards attach to the class automatically — no manual filing
  • Standalone library at /dashboard/whiteboards
  • Thumbnails auto-generated from the canvas itself (not a placeholder image)
  • Click a thumbnail to open fullscreen — presentation-grade
  • Rename, duplicate, delete; export as PNG/SVG with one click

Power features

Two things a standalone whiteboard won’t do in your classroom.

AI refine — clean up a messy board

Drew a quick concept map mid-class? Hit ✨ Refine. We straighten the lines, align the boxes, harmonise the colours — and leave the meaning intact. One click, no tutorial.

Student edit requests — host stays in control

Students ask to draw; you approve from a dropdown on the board itself. Cross-channel notifications both ways. No more 'who's drawing on my class?' moments.

vs. the alternatives

You came from one of these. Here’s why this is different.

A standalone hosted whiteboard

What hurts

Separate licence, separate sign-in, separate brand. Students need an account; classroom plans paywalled. Two browsers, two invoices.

The Big Class

Already inside your workspace. Students see it inside the class — no extra signup, no extra invoice.

A built-in video-app whiteboard

What hurts

Disappears the moment the call ends. No template library. Bound to a paid host seat.

The Big Class

Saves per class, stays on the past-class page. 25+ templates. No per-host paywall.

A sunset whiteboard product

What hurts

Discontinued by its vendor. Whatever you saved lives on borrowed time; export paths often half-broken.

The Big Class

Your boards, your CDN. One-click export to PNG / SVG. Workspace export in CSV / JSON, free tier included.

A physical whiteboard

What hurts

Only one student in the room can write. No replay. Wiped at the end of the period.

The Big Class

20+ students can co-edit. Recording links to the board. Search the library months later.

Free to start

Open a board in 60 seconds. Free.
