All-in-One Presentation Toolkit

A complete screen communication system.

DeskBoard2 keeps the tools you need close to the screen, so you can explain, capture, record, and present without breaking flow.

Annotate

Draw directly where the explanation happens.

Turn your screen into a temporary canvas with pens, shapes, text, markers, blur tools, and precise editing controls.

Capture

Capture now, keep the context visible.

Select a region or window, save the shot, pin a preview, open the editor, and extract text into Markdown when the screen contains useful copy.

Cursor and screen effects

Guide attention without saying “look here.”

Add focus effects, click feedback, screen treatments, and cursor trails that make demos and tutorials easier to follow.

Camera overlay

Stay present while the screen stays primary.

Add a camera overlay with subject masking and background effects, then position it as part of the working canvas.

Open the tool, mark what matters, capture or record the result, and keep the audience focused from the same desktop layer.
