Your way
- ShapeFreehand, line, rectangle, filled rectangle, circle or filled circle. You pick it when you create it, then draw on the screen.
- ColourThe shape's colour: a bright red to circle an answer, for example.
- Thickness1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18 or 26. For shapes that are not filled only: 8 gives a line that stands out at the back of the room.
- OpacityAs a percentage. Lower it so a filled shape lets you see what it covers.
Good to know
- A shape moves and rotates but does not resize: delete it and draw it again.
- A double-click on the shape opens its settings: colour, thickness and opacity can be changed afterwards, but not the shape.
- In presentation, shapes display as drawn. Only the screen's owners and contributors can create them.
Works well with
- text_fieldsNotesA note on your board, formatted the way you want, and readable from the back of the room.
- imageImageA photo, a diagram or a visual instruction in the right spot on the board, in full view of the class.
- format_color_fillBackgroundA colour or a photo for every screen, and animations that play softly behind your widgets.
