GroupZap is a tool for you and your team to collaborate on ideas in real-time, even if you're not in the same room.
Use it during conference calls whenever you'd use a whiteboard, or reach for a piece of scrap paper, in a face to face meeting.
Create a new board for the issue you want to discuss or brainstorm. New boards are free and instantly available. Just enter or confirm your email address and go straight to the board. You can create as many boards as you like.
Share the board's URL with the other members of your team. Just copy and instant message it or use our 'share' page to send an email direct from GroupZap.
GroupZap uses a sticky note metaphor to allow you to get stuff up on the board quickly. Unlike most whiteboarding software we don't force you to write or draw with the mouse.
Upload images or files simply by dragging and dropping them into the web page, directly from your computer's explorer or finder window. Use our simple boxes and arrows to quickly sketch processes and dependencies.
A GroupZap whiteboard can be used in lots of different ways. Enable our range of stickers and select different backgrounds to help organise and annotate your notes. After a brainstorm, you can use stickers to vote on items.
One great way to use GroupZap is for all participants to silently add notes to the board to capture everyone's initial thoughts on a topic. Then, take it in turns to explain what your stickies mean, and to remove any duplicates and add any newly inspired points. Finally start to cluster, organise, discuss and summarise the group's thoughts. Click here for a detailed explanation
The entire history of the thought process is recorded so you can rewind to review how certain ideas or decisions came about.
Finally, create a PDF to send round to the team as a record of the meeting for follow up actions or documents.
Your team can continue to add items to the board after meeting, as afterthoughts occur or absent colleagues become available.
Your board will stay active for 7 days - then it will need to be unlocked. However, you can create new whiteboards for free at any time.
This site makes extensive use of HTML5. Therefore GroupZap
requires a compatible browser, which means a fairly recent
version of
Firefox,
Safari,
Google Chrome or
Opera.
Unfortunately, if you are using an old version of Microsoft
Internet Explorer that doesn't yet support HTML5, you can
either upgrade to a more modern browser or use
Google's
Chrome Frame (a plugin that provides HTML5 support).
