Explain Everything review
A teaching-focused whiteboard that combines infinite canvases, recording, and education integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Explain Everything is an online whiteboarding platform for teachers, students, tutors, consultants, and facilitators. Its focus is interactive teaching rather than simple static diagramming: users can create infinite-canvas slides, present lessons, collaborate in real time or asynchronously, add voice chat, and record or edit video. Browser access and mobile apps for iOS and Android make it suitable for lessons, tutoring, workshops, and reusable instructional content.
The standout capability is the combination of whiteboarding and media creation. Users can import and manipulate PDFs, presentations, images, audio, and video, then add drawings, shapes, text, sticky notes, laser pointers, templates, animation, and polling. Finished work can be shared as videos, PDFs, images, editable projects, or web video links. That breadth makes Explain Everything a stronger fit for educators who need recorded, multimedia lessons than for teams seeking a narrowly focused visual collaboration board.
Its plan structure starts with a Free tier supporting up to 3 projects, 1 slide per project, 3-minute videos, 500 MB of cloud storage, and 1-on-1 collaboration for up to 15 minutes. Advanced adds unlimited projects and slides, unrestricted video length, Promethean engagement applications, 7.5 GB of storage, and 30-minute collaboration with 1 person. Pro adds 20 GB of storage, collaboration with up to 8 people without time limits, and email support. Team adds shared folders, team-wide settings, 20 GB of pooled storage per person, data-residency region choice, an account manager, and custom onboarding for larger teams. The pricing page displays AUD pricing, including Advanced at AUD 69.99 per year and individual and team plans at AUD 10.99 per month when billed annually. Choose it for recorded interactive teaching; teams wanting simpler, general-purpose whiteboarding may prefer a narrower tool.
