How to Add Text to the Whiteboard

All students, tutors, and advisors can add Text to the whiteboard during session in the VLC. This can be helpful for leaving more detailed notes as feedback, for example.

Instructions

1. Click the 'Text' Icon.
   

   Click on the Text icon in the toolbar at the top of the whiteboard. This will open the options menu.
   
   
   

2. Customize the Text You'd Like to Add.

   Customize the font size, color, and style of the text you want to write.
   Note: There is no option to change the font.
   
   
   

3. Click On the Whiteboard and Begin Typing!

   Click on the whiteboard where you would like the text to appear and begin writing. Once you have clicked outside of the text box, the lines will disappear and the text will become visible to everyone else in the session.
   

Important Things to Note About the Text Tool:

• After creating the text box, the font style, font size, or font color cannot be changed
• You're able to move and resize the text box using the Select tool. Resizing the text box will change the spacing of the text, but not the size of the text.
• Be sure to customize the text before you finish typing!

Congratulations! Now you know how to use the Text tool!
