Launching collaborative whiteboard and document for your Chat app!

‍

We are excited to launch the collaborative whiteboard and document extensions for Chat applications!

Collaboration is powerful! Gone are the days where we met each other personally to share and discuss. We understand that when dispersed across geographies or global pandemics situation like COVID 19, online collaboration is important no matter where you are!

By allowing organizations to share information via a global network, online collaboration allows people who are geographically dispersed to work together more effectively than in the past. 

You might be in education, health, or any sector where you feel the need to share and collaborate with your team, students, teachers, or healthcare practitioners. You can now collaborate, discuss, and share ideas in real-time using our online collaboration documents and whiteboard extension.

Now, let's go through how to integrate online collaborative whiteboard and document in your chat application.
