| Disclosure, I work on the project.

|
| Microsoft got this right in their early Surface stuff, but
| somehow messed it up in Teams. Google does this wrong. Zoom
| does this wrong. There are a few things which does this well,
| but it's rare.

| Teams is electron, so you're still in the browser and an

| I am looking for solution for collaborating online with my math

| dozens of pages of math. Right now, we take turns sharing our
| screens on zoom and writing on our own whiteboard software
| (OpenBoard, some Mac whiteboard etc.). This is less than ideal
| because only one person can write at a time, which is not how we
| work in person on paper or actual whiteboards.
|
| The best I have found is http://www.styluslabs.com/ But our one
| session with it ended with repeated disconnections and one person
| couldn't even connect. Not to mention it is completely insecure
| (http connections), and the whiteboard part of the software is
| not that impressive.
|
| Any suggestions?

| Does that sound something appealing to work in a web document,

| whiteboards and paper. That is what is missing from the
| market right now.
