i am a dumb basic lync user, so i might b asking a very obvious question. plz b patient...i am a software architect who uses my office whiteboards extensively 2draw logic flows and technical diagrams, especially in team meetings. my company uses microsoft lync2010 as our remote collaboration platform. when i work remotely, my team uses lync 2share our desktops so we can c what someone is doing with whatever software we r using. the basic whiteboard feature of lync is 2crude for the types of drawings that i do using a mouse. i was wondering if a drawing tablet can b a peripheral that i can connect 2my laptop usb and draw so everyone can c my diagram realtime thru lync. at a minimum, i am assuming that i can have a drawing software window open on my desktop that people can c, just like any other desktop images can b seen. is there a better hook directly into lync 2eliminate the need 4drawing software? going further, i was wondering if other team members have tablets, can they edit my drawing realtime thru lync. thx.

For your question.

1.i was wondering if a drawing tablet can b a peripheral that i can connect 2my laptop usb and draw so everyone can c my diagram realtime thru lync.

When you draw on the whiteboard, all participate can see the diagram realtime through Lync.

2.i am assuming that i can have a drawing software window open on my desktop that people can c, just like any other desktop images can b seen. is there a better hook directly into lync 2eliminate the need 4drawing software?

You can only share your drawing software by share program, the all participate can only see the operator on the specific program.

3.i was wondering if other team members have tablets, can they edit my drawing realtime thru lync. thx.

Yes, other team members have tablets, they can edit you drawing.

Hi, have you ever figured this out / solved this problem? What tablet did you wind up using? Look forward to your response!
