A shared whiteboard for Zoom, Meet and Teams calls

Paste one URL in the call chat. Everyone joins the same canvas — instantly, without an account. Draw boxes, type notes, paste screenshots. Export to PDF when the call ends and drop it into the meeting notes.

Why teams pick cnvs.app for meeting whiteboards

Drop the link in chat, done. No app install, no SSO redirect, no "create a Miro account first". Even external guests on a different domain join in seconds.
Real-time, ~100 ms. Everyone's strokes appear live. No "I'll share my screen so you can see what I'm drawing".
Paste anything from the call. Screenshot of someone's slide, a URL from chat, an image from your clipboard — all paste onto the canvas.
Export for notes. One-click PDF with the board URL watermarked, so the meeting notes link straight back to the live board for follow-ups.
30-day retention. The board stays alive as long as you keep visiting it. Use the Recent Boards sidebar to find last week's standup.

Meeting patterns that work

Standups

Three column headers (Yesterday / Today / Blockers), drop sticky notes under each. Snap a PDF for the daily log.

Retrospectives

What went well / What didn't / Action items. No template, just type the headers and dump sticky notes.

Architecture review

Drop a Mermaid C4 or sequence diagram, walk through together, annotate concerns in red.

Client kickoff

Drop the client's logo (paste image), sketch the project timeline, hand them the URL after the call so they can revisit.
