I tested dozens of online whiteboards to find the best ones for a variety of needs. Online whiteboards are necessary because fast, easy, and visual collaboration is too important not to have a virtual option, especially when you can't guarantee all your colleagues will be in the same place on any given day. This means that tools like the whiteboard-a staple of meeting spaces-have officially taken the digital leap. Office work has been back for a year or two, but it's still not how it was before 2020.
