RealtimeBoard

Improve the way you and your team communicate and collaborate, as well as boost productivity - these are just some of the main selling points of most collaboration tools.

Since these tools are practically taking over the offices of all over the world, it's hardly surprising that there are dozens of choices out there. However, if visual collaboration is something that you and your team are after, then without even a hint of hesitation, you should try RealtimeBoard.

In short, this app provides access to an unlimited whiteboard where you and your team can chat and collaborate on projects in real-time from multiple devices like Windows PCs and Macs, as well as iOS and Android smartphones.

Users who don't feel particularly inclined to use a client for their desktop machines, they can take advantage of the RealtimeBoard web app.

Nothing new under the sun, right? Well, not quite. Right off the bat, we're going to say that even though it's not out-and-out revolutionary, RealtimeBoard makes quite a relevant case for itself by smoothly combining a comprehensive set of tools (both visual and collaboration tools) with a novice-accessible GUI, topping everything off with its useful collection of templates.

Clearly geared more towards teams that deal with project development and management or business scenarios, the app allows any member to work in on the board in real-time. You can integrate a stunning array of content from everything like photos and videos, all the way up to spreadsheets, snapshots of websites.

The provided whiteboard toolkit is not exactly shabby either, as it presents useful tools that allow you to create sketches, markups, texts, and all sort of such content. RealtimeBoard also enables you to add complex layouts, frames, presentations, comments, sticky notes.

Another highlight stems from the app's well-thought-out communication tools. It comes with support for basic chat, real-time screen sharing, as well as live video. You're also able to integrate your favorite web tools and services such as Slack, Google Drive, JIRA, Microsoft Office 365, and Dropbox, just to name a few.

Last but not least, everything is made a lot easier with the help of its built-in templates. For instance, you can start off brainstorming sessions, create mindmaps, flowcharts, personal models, empathy maps and affinity diagrams, fishbone diagrams, and a lot of other types of charts with just a single mouse click.

By now, it should be clear that this virtual whiteboard app for team collaboration is a bit more than just the sum of its parts. Its interesting set of tools and undeniable flexibility, coupled with useful web integration and a very user-friendly GUI, recommend it for a wide array of tasks and project types, also making it an app that can be easily integrated into basically any team's day-to-day workflow.
