How do I scale my Whiteboard in order to fit the whole screen? So I do not have to scroll left/right, up/down?
Scale to Window before using the whiteboard, and tell your students to do so:
(Tools → Whiteboard → Scale to Window)
How do I organize my screens, delete, copy and paste?
Organize your screens (copy, delete, paste screens):
(Tools → Whiteboard → Explore Screens)
When using Breakout Rooms, how do I (moderator) share the content and whiteboard screens in a specific Breakout Rooms with the rest of the class in the main room?
That is a good question. Before you close the Breakout Room (otherwise all content will be deleted), go to: Tools → Whiteboard → Explore Screens. You will see a list of screens by room. Choose the screens in the specific Breakout Room that you wish to copy, select a screen and use Ctrl + C. Then click on the screen you wish to insert it, and click on Ctrl + V. You can also do this procedure by clicking on the Whiteboard screen
When I use the great feature of “Select and Stamp an Image”, sometimes my ELive screen disappears and I get so confused… what is happening?
Keep in mind the following 2 things:
- Select “Hide Application First” if you want to capture an area behind the Elluminate Live window ( on your screen)
- Deselect “Hide Application First” if you want to capture an area on Elluminate Live window
I have a Mac and I have trouble loading a power point presentation!
For some Mac users who are unable to load the PowerPoint presentations directly onto the whiteboard: You can save the slides in the presentation as individual images (GIF, JPEG, PNG) and then load the images onto the Elluminate Live! whiteboard.
I have a Mac and I have trouble using the Direct Messaging!

PART 3 - ACCESS ELLUMINATE LIVE CLASSROOM FOR TESTING
Shall I use the Application Sharing feature or Snap Image feature to share the results of the Polling with the attendees?
For sharing the results to the whole class, you can use either feature, by clicking:Tools → Polling → Show Statistics.
The advantage of using the Application sharing feature is that it shows the changes in the Statistics if attendees answers do change, but the Snap Image feature on the Whiteboard is static.
How to create two seperate consecutive recordings?
- You can create the recordings in two separate rooms.
- You can use the same room but after you create the first recording you need to stop the recording and everyone needs to exit the room for 15 minutes. This allows the room to shut down and will give you a separate recording link next time you log in. You can then log back in to create your second recording.
