Whiteboard.chat review
A teacher-focused whiteboard with breakout groups, worksheets, widgets, and reports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Whiteboard.chat is a web-based interactive whiteboard built primarily for teachers and students. It combines drawing and typing tools with PDF worksheet upload and annotation, individual and group boards, interactive widgets, polls, quizzes, drag-and-drop activities, and real-time student board observation. Students can join through invitations or a guest session, making the service suitable for lessons where learners need to participate without registering. Its strongest fit is a teacher managing breakout digital lessons rather than a team seeking a general-purpose visual collaboration workspace.
The pricing structure is freemium, with an Educator plan available at no cost. Educator includes up to 10 boards at a time, with boards expiring after 7 days, and allows student invitations but not co-teacher invitations. Starter adds unlimited boards with a default four-week lifetime. Basic adds unlimited boards, permits up to 20 boards to be saved indefinitely, and provides access to all Whiteboard.chat features. Gold also includes all features and allows boards to be saved indefinitely without a limit. The plan progression centers on board capacity, retention, and access to the full feature set, so teachers should choose based on how long they need lesson materials and student work preserved.
Breakout groups and automatic student grouping are the product’s clearest differentiators for live digital teaching. Teachers can combine shared and individual boards with real-time observation, interactive manipulatives, and assessment activities, then export boards to PDF and review student reports. Microsoft Teams support provides an option for classrooms already working in that environment, while the service remains available through the web. Whiteboard.chat suits educators who need structured participation and classroom oversight; those seeking a broader presentation or workshop canvas should compare alternatives before choosing it.
