Whiteboards & Display Boards — Expert Answer
What whiteboard setup works best on camera during video calls?
Whiteboards used in video conferencing face two challenges: reflection and readability. Avoid glossy whiteboards — they create hot spots and glare that wash out content on camera. Matte-finish porcelain or low-gloss dry-erase surfaces perform better on camera. Use high-contrast, dark markers (black or dark blue) — lighter colors don't read well on camera. Position the board so it's lit from the side (not behind the camera, which creates glare) or from above with diffuse light. Frame the camera to capture the full board. Dedicated document cameras (placed above the board or at an angle) often produce better board capture than room cameras. Glass whiteboards look terrible on camera — avoid them for video-first environments. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
