Stylus and Touch Support for Digital Whiteboards

#clickup

ClickUp users have expressed difficulties in using stylus devices such as Apple Pencil, Wacom pens, and Surface Pen on digital whiteboards within the platform. The main problem arises when attempting to draw or write on the canvas, where instead of leaving marks, the canvas tends to move or not recognize the stylus input correctly. This issue has caused significant frustration, especially in meetings and collaborative settings where quick sketching and notetaking are crucial. Users find this limitation hinders their workflow efficiency and creativity, preventing them from fully utilizing whiteboards for dynamic interaction and detailed work which could otherwise enhance their productivity and collaborative experiences.
