Okay, help: what's a good compromise for a whiteboard for one-off use in a lecture? I want to collect student ideas, group them together and talk them through interactively while showing the whiteboard on a screen. Nothing more.

For a long time I would have used Flinga Whiteboard (https://flinga.fi/) but my employer stopped paying for it. They do pay for Miro but it's horrendously complicated to use, and a steep learning curve for a one-off activation exercise in class.

Is there something simple, freely available (maybe - ideally - open source) that is at the Flinga end of complexity rather than Miro?

@davidjamesweir cryptpad has a whiteboard. seems quite a simple to me — give it a try!

@Stoori Thanks! I'm not sure if it has fine-grained enough access control for what I have in mind, nor a way to only have one type of object shown.

I'll definitely be taking a closer look at cryptpad though, at least for my own use!
