Frequently asked questions about Expressed
Do my viewers need to install anything?
No. Viewers just watch your desktop screen share in their normal video call app. Expressed runs only on your device.
Which tablets and computers work with Expressed?
Any iPad, Android tablet, or pen display pairs with Windows 11 desktops over any network. No cables or special setup required.
How is this different from Miro or Microsoft Whiteboard?
Those are shared team canvases with complexity and learning curves. Expressed is built for fast idea explanation — your handwriting appears live on your shared desktop with zero setup.
Can I try it free?
Yes. Starter is the full live experience (same frame rate, unlimited length, up to 10 people). Pro just removes the watermark and gets new tools first.
