Canva Whiteboards review

Canva Whiteboards are part of Canva rather than a separate product, and they are free and unlimited, with unlimited space on each board. Collaboration is real time with colored cursors, and Canva says people can join even if they do not have a Canva account, which helps with clients and students. Workshop features include timers with music, comments, sticky notes with reactions and one-click sorting of ideas. Diagrams use customizable shapes and automatic connectors, and the full Canva template and content library is available. The most useful link is to the rest of Canva: a whiteboard can be converted into a presentation or doc, and any presentation slide can expand into a whiteboard. Paid plans are about design rather than whiteboards: Pro costs US$144 a year for one person and Business US$250 a year per person with team admin tools. Canva lacks the structured facilitation tools of Miro, Mural or Lucidspark.
