The communication is further enhanced by visual pointing. When client's desktop is shared using ISL Light, the operator can use the desktop as a whiteboard: draw a pointer, use a red marker to circle or underline something. The whiteboard will be automatically enabled if, before the session starts, the "Enable keyboard and mouse control" check box is not set under Session Options.
The settings for whiteboard are located in the top toolbar of the desktop streaming window (ISL View).
