필요 없습니다. 방 ID로 만들거나 들어가면 바로 협업할 수 있습니다. 짧은 회의를 가볍게 유지하려는 설계이므로, 방 ID는 신뢰할 수 있는 사람에게만 공유하세요.

데스크톱 클라이언트는 필요 없습니다. 최신 브라우저로 참여하면 됩니다. 음성·카메라·화면 공유는 처음 사용할 때 브라우저 권한이 필요합니다.

최대 8명. 스탠드업, 1:1, 페어 리뷰, 소규모 워크숍에 맞습니다. 전사 회의나 웨비나는 대형 회의 도구를 사용하세요.

최신 Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari. 화면 공유는 데스크톱 Chrome/Edge가 가장 안정적입니다. IDE 내장 미리보기에서는 화면 캡처가 안 될 수 있으니 시스템 브라우저로 여세요.

모든 용도의 대체재는 아닙니다. wbstorm는 가벼운 임시 허들(빠른 동기화, 아키텍처 스케치, 함께 그리기)에 집중합니다. 대규모 회의·웨비나·강한 관리 기능은 엔터프라이즈 제품이 더 적합합니다.

방은 임시입니다. 종료 후 보드 이미지는 약 15분간 PNG 다운로드가 가능할 수 있습니다. 장기 문서 저장소로 쓰지 말고, 중요한 내용은 나가기 전에 내보내세요.

가능합니다. 방에서 보드만 사용하거나, 홈의 개인 자유 그리기(이 기기만)를 쓰면 됩니다. 음성과 카메라는 필요할 때만 켜세요.

네. 결제·가입 없이 방을 만들고 협업할 수 있습니다. 인원 제한 등은 소규모 회의를 가볍게 유지하기 위한 것입니다.

On the home page, optionally enter a custom room ID (1–20 characters: letters, numbers, hyphen, underscore) or leave it blank to auto-generate one. Click create to enter the room as the admin session.

Copy the room ID from the address bar or the in-room UI and send it to participants. They open wbstorm, paste the ID under join, and enter — no account required.

If a room is closed or frozen, joining may still open the page for snapshot download while the file remains available.

Solo mode (/solo) is a personal whiteboard without a multi-user room; it is not indexed and is meant for private sketching.

When the browser asks for microphone permission, allow it for the wbstorm site. Denied permissions are the most common reason voice never starts.

Use headphones when possible to reduce echo. If you hear yourself looping, mute other tabs that might also capture audio.

Voice is optional. Many brainstorms only need the board. Unmute when a round needs argument.

If the call feels heavy, leave voice and stay on the canvas. A shared picture is enough for most product, design, and marketing rooms.

wbstorm has no screen share. The picture lives on the shared board. If the canvas looks empty, check that the top bar says connected.

Confirm everyone typed the same room ID. A one-character typo opens a different, empty room.

Refresh once. If the room was already closed, you can only download the leftover PNG — you cannot keep drawing.

IDE preview panes often cannot keep a live socket. Copy the link and open it in system Chrome, Edge, or Safari.

The board updates in near real time for all sessions in the room. Use shapes and text for structure; freehand for quick marks.

Agree on a rough layout (left = dump, right = decision) so people do not draw on top of each other chaotically.

The whiteboard complements voice: say the point, then pin it as a box or arrow so late joiners can catch up visually.

When the admin closes the room, download the PNG snapshot if you still need the diagram — the room itself is removed promptly.

Active rooms expire after a configured TTL (on the order of hours). Plan important discussions inside that window, or create a new room if you need another session later.

When an admin closes the room, live collaboration ends and capacity is freed immediately. The product is intentionally ephemeral — not a permanent archive.

Optionally, a PNG snapshot of the whiteboard is retained for a short period (minutes) so participants can download it. After that, it is gone.

Do not rely on wbstorm as long-term storage. Export anything you must keep before the snapshot TTL ends.

Each room supports up to eight people. The cap is on purpose: a brainstorm needs one picture everyone can still see, not a webinar.

If the room is full, open a second room and split the group, or wait for a seat. Do not treat wbstorm as an all-hands tool.

There is no screen share. Camera is optional. Bandwidth stays with the canvas and optional voice.

Large all-hands belong in a broadcast tool. Break into wbstorm rooms when you need a small group around one sheet.

Open the same site in a current mobile browser and join with the room ID. Grant microphone permission if you want to talk.

Keep the phone unlocked and the tab visible; backgrounding can pause WebRTC on some devices.

There is no screen share. Phones are best for listening and light marks; complex journeys belong on a laptop.

If the layout feels cramped, rotate to landscape or switch to a laptop for board-heavy sessions.

You do not create a wbstorm user profile to brainstorm. Access is gated by knowing the room ID (and admin capabilities for the creator session).

Share room IDs through channels you already trust (team chat, calendar notes). Avoid posting active IDs on public social media.

Room state is short-lived. When a room ends, live collaboration stops; snapshots exist only briefly if enabled.

Ephemeral design reduces leftover archives, but you are still responsible for what you draw or say in the room.

The session that created the room holds admin privileges. Use the close control when the meeting is done instead of leaving the tab open until TTL.

Closing removes the live room right away so others can create rooms under the global capacity limit.

If you need the board, confirm snapshot download is available and grab the PNG before the short retention window ends.

Participants who reconnect after close will not resume a live board — only snapshot download may remain for a while.

wbstorm uses WebRTC for media. Strict corporate firewalls or some VPNs block peer connectivity. Switching to a phone hotspot is a quick test.

Update to a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Embedded in-app browsers sometimes break getUserMedia or WebRTC.

If voice connects but video does not, re-check camera permissions and the room’s camera cap.

Still stuck? Close other heavy tabs, recreate the room, and have everyone rejoin with a fresh ID to clear a bad session mesh.
