Quick tip
Why is Whiteboard Mode useful when teaching with interactive displays?
Whiteboard Mode keeps playback controls out of the way, so students can clearly see annotations, diagrams, or touch interactions on the screen. This helps maintain visibility and flow during lessons, especially when pausing, replaying, or adjusting videos mid-discussion.
Enable Whiteboard Mode
Whiteboard Mode in ClickView helps educators easily access video player controls without blocking the whiteboard during lessons. When Whiteboard Mode is active, the video controls dock on either side of the video, allowing seamless interaction and adjustment.
How to enable Whiteboard Mode
- Select the video you want to view and enter full screen mode. This will reveal the navigation control icon, shown as a 9 dot icon.
- In full screen mode, hold and drag the navigation control icon to either side of the video player.
- Once Whiteboard Mode is enabled, the video player controls will be docked on the side of the video. You can easily adjust video settings from here.
