Using BitPaper

These instructions take you step-by-step on how to use bitpaper.io. For experienced computer users, this information may seem like common knowledge. For a more straight to the point explanation, click here.

1. Get Link From The email you provided TO BOOK SESSION

 

You should have gotten an email sometime after you booked with a link to your personal whiteboard. Copy this link from your email or write it down on a piece of paper. You will need it in a few minutes.

2. Open A Web Browser ON ANY DEVICE

 

The Chrome and Firefox web browsers work best with this application. Although, if you do not have either of these, just use one that you already have. Just know, some features may not work because of the web browser you choose to use. If you have an iPhone, the web browser you would use is called Safari.

3. PASTE LINK OR TYPE Link into address bar

 

The address bar is located at the top of the web browser. If in step 1 you copied the link using your phone, you can paste it into the bar now. If in step 1 you wrote it down, you can put it into the bar now.

4. WATCH VIDEO/READ INSTRUCTIONS

 

When you first land on the site you will be presented with a video, tips, and a manual. While you don't actually have to view the video or read the tips because the application is so easy to use, it may be helpful to you. Tap close on the pop up in the bottom right corner when you are done viewing it.

5. CLICK JOIN CALL
 

After closing the pop up, you will most likely see a tab on the left hand side with a button in the top left corner that says "Join Call." Tap this button to connect with me. If you do not see this tab, it may be because I haven't started the call yet. To start the call yourself, just tap the phone button in the bottom left corner, then when the tab opens, tap start call. I will hopefully join the call shortly.

6. CLICK THE CAMERA BUTTON TO TURN ON YOUR CAMERA

 

Of course only if you would like, press the camera button to turn on your camera so I can see you. The buttons to turn your camera, mic, and screen sharing on and off should be in the second black box. The first black box controls whether or not you can hear me. You can see me in the top box and you can see yourself in the second box. If you wish not to use the camera, we are still able to communicate as I can still hear you.

7. DRAW WITH YOUR FINGER OR MOUSE

 

It is pretty self explanatory, but you draw with your finger if you are using touchscreen and you draw with your mouse if you are using a computer. Your toolbar is at the bottom which allows you to change the color, pen size, erase, draw shapes, and more.
