The Whiteboard Screen Capture

The Whiteboard can do screen captures of other applications. This is useful for presenting or discussing text, images, drawings, spread sheets, etc. directly from any other application on your computer.

First, start the application you wish to capture and bring into the whiteboard.

Then, from the Whiteboard, use the Window Capture Tool. Press the Window Selection button (picture to the right) and hold the mouse button down while dragging to the desired window and then release.

On a Mac OS X, simply click on the Window Selection button. A camera shaped cursor will appear with which you can click on the application you wish to capture.

The resulting image will presented on the Whiteboard's background layer, making it easy to draw and write on top of it.
"Only" the owner of the document can make changes to the original document in the application.
Although only the owner can modify the original document, other participants can draw and write over the captured window.

Remember that this can be any application window on your machine, in the example above Adobe Photoshop is captured. Simply be sure the application in question is visible on your desktop before clicking on the capture button.

	Windows users can also select a sub-window within an application if necessary (for example, the actual spread sheet in MS Excel, leaving out the toolbars and menus). Go to the title bar of a Windows application if you would like to present the whole window.
	On Mac OS X you can press <space> on the keyboard before selecting what window to capture, this will let you select an area of your screen to capture.
	To update, click on the Update button (or press <ctrl> + <d>) in the Whiteboard. On Mac OS X, simply use the Window Selection button again as the Update function is not available.

Note that you can press <ctrl> on the keyboard before selecting a window and the captured window will be put into the system clipboard. Then you can paste the window as a normal image and avoid having it in the background layer of the whiteboard page.
