In their own words
Groupboard
Groupboard is a shared online whiteboard with real-time chat and a message board. People can open it through a supplied link, and its contents remain after all users log off. It works in HTML5-capable browsers, including iOS and Android browsers, without plugins or downloads. Paid hosted plans allow embedding the board in web pages and use of a JavaScript API to control and customize it; self-hosted versions can be installed on a customer's server. The interface is translated into Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Finnish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, and Arabic. It also works with graphics tablets such as Wacom and Huion. The Free Groupboard plan costs nothing and allows five users per whiteboard, 20 saved pictures, and 10 background images; it includes ads and limited support. Hosted plans cost $9.99 a month for up to 15 users per whiteboard or $19.99 a month for up to 50 users. Groupboard was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada. Its privacy statement says its servers are in Quebec and personal data is not transmitted outside Canada.
