Think visually: New whiteboard tool in the UHHCloud

1 February 2026, by DL-Büro GW

Did you know that the UHH Cloud now offers a whiteboard feature that you can use for your teaching or studying sessions? The whiteboard is an Excalidraw integration app, which allows users to create boards with mind maps, diagrams and much more. You can work on the board by yourself, or you can share the access to it with other UHH members, either as editors or spectators. It could be useful both during online sessions or live classes, for example as a tool for group assignments or for exchanging ideas.

After logging into the UHHCloud in the browser, go into your files and in the upper bar click on the box "+New". Then choose "New whiteboard" from the list and name your whiteboard. The board is now ready for your creative process. We invite you to explore all the functions of the whiteboards and if you would like to explore them more, you can check out the Excalidraw YouTube channel with useful tips. However, we must point out that not all Excalidraw features are available in the UHHCloud version.
