Hi Santhosh,
What kind of product you used? Whiteboard for Windows or Whiteboard for Android?

Hi @jose-santhosh-gmail-com

You can click "Open" of "File management" to open a powerpoint, please refer to the attached image below:

When you open a powerpoint through "Open" functionality, the file will be opened by Microsoft PowerPoint, not by myViewBoard Whiteboard. In addition, only .pptx is supported on myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows.

Thank you for the feedback. Feel free to ask us anything!

My Best,

Hi @brussell-pcsc-k12-in-us Thank you for using myViewBoard Whiteboard.
I am the product manager of myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows.
Allow me to introduce our products to you here:

In order to keep your data/files safe, the Whiteboard will sign you out once you leave the software by clicking or tapping below icon in red:

If you would like to keep the account signing in, you can't close the software. However, I would not suggest you to do that for security reason.

In addition, In order to save the time to sign in whiteboard, I'd like to suggest you a faster way, using myViewBoard Companion App:

• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/tw/app/myviewboard/id1321808551
• Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viewsonic.myviewboard

You can use myViewBoard Companion App to scan the QR code below to sign in whiteboard. It will save you and teachers lots of time.

Feel free to ask anything. We would be glad to help you.
Thank you so much.

My Best,
Kaitlyn

Hi @jkoerlin Thank you for using myViewBoard Whiteboard.

I am the Product Manager of myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows and myViewBoard Whiteboard for Android. I really appreciate your feedback.

Allow me to reply your questions below:

1. When you use a background image of "Background management" at the bottom left of the canvas, the background image will not be moved and be changed size. However, it can't be locked neither.

If you would like to "lock" an image, you can use import an image from "Magic Box". However, if you set the image to be as background through "Adorning menu", it will not be moved, changed size or locked.

2. It looks like you are using myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows. May I know what kind of games you meant? Most games can use your own content.

Feel free to let me know if you need any further information.

Hi @brian-greenlaw-msad59-org In order to help you, can you let me know below information:

1. It looks like you tried to use companion app to sign in Whiteboard. May I know if the software you would like to connect is myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows?
2. If so, can you let me know if there is any error message showing up?
3. About the second issue you mentioned "The login does jump to Microsoft Edge and it says I've logged in, but the board does not respond.", can you provide a video of it or if there is any error message showing up?

Look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you!

Hi @jesse-taylor May I know what product you used? Thank you.

Hi @tnhugar-mtjh-tn-edu-tw 您好，感謝您使用 myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows 產品，以及謝謝您提供珍貴的回饋。

我是myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows 的Product Manager。請容許我在這跟您簡單介紹此功能。

有關 myViewBoard Whiteboard for Windows 上的「參與模式」功能，主要為提供實體教室內的老師與學生更多互動的機會，所以目前暫時沒有新增遠端操作功能的規劃。

若有興趣使用遠端教學產品，歡迎試試看 myViewBoard Classroom，這在遠端教學上，能提供很棒的幫助!

謝謝您!
期待您後續更多寶貴的回饋!
