Vibe Board or a TV: What the Shared Touchscreen Adds
November 10, 2026Choose a Vibe Board when your meetings need direct writing on a shared screen, remote contribution and a saved canvas. The gain over a TV, camera and dry-erase board is the combined working surface. Keep a working TV setup when casting and separate note capture already satisfy the team.
Compare one real workshop
The Vibe S1 page documents 20 touchpoints and Canvas collaboration from other devices. An iPad cast to a TV keeps pen input on the tablet; Vibe puts input at the shared board. A dry-erase result needs a capture step, while Canvas can be saved and reopened.
| Your current setup | What to test on Vibe |
|---|---|
| TV, Meeting Owl and dry-erase board | Write, invite a remote participant and reopen the result |
| TV, Miro and laptops | Whether direct board input removes a recurring handoff |
| Display plus tablet stylus | Whether several people need to work at the shared surface |
| iPad casting during workshops | Tablet-led facilitation versus writing directly on the room screen |
For a ten-person team, run the same plan-review exercise on both configurations. Mark a change, get a remote comment and let the next facilitator reopen it. Record the setup and handoff steps; no measured savings are assumed.
Price the room, not just the display
S1 is ChromeOS-based. The S1 Pro page describes Windows 11 Pro and professional drawing applications such as Bluebeam. Choose the model path that can run your actual file and required licences.
The S1 FAQ states that neither size has a built-in camera or microphone. Include compatible audio/video, mounting and any stand in the quote. Compare that total with the equipment you would retain or upgrade. Buy the shared touch workflow when it solves the demonstrated recurring problem at an acceptable cost; a larger screen alone is insufficient.
