Virtual Whiteboard requires a modern web browser (Internet Explorer 6, FireFox 1.5, Opera 8.0 or above with JavaScript enabled) running on a standard PC. There is no need to install any additional software or components before using it. As Virtual Whiteboard is a web-based system, it will run on most operating systems. However we recommend updating your web browser to the latest version available. You can easily test the suitability of your computer's current configuration with Virtual Whiteboard by creating a virtual whiteboard! Please click the Create New Virtual Whiteboard button above.

A display capable of showing a resolution of 1024x768 pixels with thousands of colours (16-bit) is required for working on virtual whiteboards. If available, a screen with a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels (or greater) capable of displaying millions of colours (24-bit) is recommended.
