4 years ago @multun: Personally, I prefer the online model – HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript. See http://fmoses.com/HF1/ for some pages from one of Haiti Futur’s courses rewritten as a website. Try rescaling the browser window. It is easy to make the form factor and scaling track the window size. Scratch Qt and substitute our own page makeup software using only the features we need. My demo showed me that it isn’t too hard. Also, scratch Flash for SVG. It’s not a short term project, but a worthwhile one. Nearly all non-embedded platforms have Web browsers. I’d be willing to work on such a project.
Issue: if the user has no Internet access, we’d need to provide a simple way for them to set up a local site which may be tricky and/or beyond the skill set of teachers

As many classes are switching to an online model, it's getting increasingly important to be able to stream video from OpenBoard.
Thankfully, most of the infrastructure is already there, as the podcast infrastructure can also be leveraged for this purpose.
On linux, libav supports writting to virtual video devices (v4l2-loopback) natively, and the patchshould be very straightforward. I don't know much about windows, but a number of projects seem to provide this feature for windows as well (webcamoidhttps://github.com/webcamoid/webcamoid/tree/master/libAvKys/Plugins/VirtualCamera/src, libvideolivehttps://github.com/TimSC/libvideolive)
It would enable using the board as an input for any video streaming software. I may try to hack support for the linux version if I find some time to do so.

I think the easiest way to do so is to create a virtual webcam, and let another streaming software handle streaming / recording.
