Inserting and working with files in the whiteboard
When you add files to your page, such as images, videos, PDFs, or Word documents, they're inserted as dynamic objects. You can move, resize, or rotate them, and interact with them in a variety of other ways. Different types of object provide different options for manipulating them.
You can insert the following types of file into the whiteboard:
Notes
Some file types, such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Excel files, require that the program for that file be installed on the meeting room’s computer.
All files (except video files) are inserted as a PDF in the whiteboard page. PDF files are compatible with all devices, so when you send the files as part of a meeting recap, the recipients can open them.
