Using JIBB Room on a Cisco Device (MTR Mode)
Follow the instructions on this page to learn how to use JIBB Room on your Cisco MTR (Microsoft Teams Rooms) Device and successfully digitize and share your meeting room whiteboard with others online.
1. Intro to JIBB Room
JIBB Room allows you to transform your physical meeting room whiteboard/glassboard into a digital whiteboard, using your Cisco meeting room camera.
- Share your whiteboard content inside your online meetings in real time.
- Invite others to join and annotate (no login or account required).
- Receive an Auto-Saved PDF copy of your whiteboard content via email.
2. Accessing the JIBB Room App
This section will guide you through launching the JIBB Room App on the Room Navigator (Touchscreen).
Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR Mode) Instructions:
Swipe left on the home screen to open the Control Panel and tap the JIBB app.
3. Setting your Auto-Save Email
Before you start your JIBB Room session, enter your email address so JIBB can send you a PDF copy of your whiteboard content after your session ends.
4. Starting a JIBB Room Session
Once you've entered an Auto-Save email and you're ready to share your whiteboard, simply tap Start to launch a JIBB Room session.
You will see a JIBB Room open on your meeting room TV/display. It will take a few seconds for the camera to load and detect your whiteboard.
Wait for JIBB Room to detect your whiteboard & start writing.
5. Invite Others to Join Your JIBB Session & Digitally Annotate
Once your JIBB Room session has started, you will see the join.jibb.ai URL and a Workspace ID and Password displayed in the upper left of the screen.
You will then need to type this information into the Teams meeting chat so people can join.
Remote participants don't need a JIBB account to join your session, they just need to enter a screen name and the correct ID and Password.
Share the 'join.jibb.ai' URL, ID & Password.
Share the details in your Teams meeting chat.
6. Sharing a JIBB Room Session in a Teams Meeting
When using JIBB Room on an MTR Cisco device and inside a Teams meeting, you will need to go to join.jibb.ai, type in the workspace ID and password, and then share your screen from another device that has joined the meeting or ask a participant to share their screen once they have joined.
Share the JIBB Session from a separate device in Teams.
7. Tips & Best Practices
Everyone knows their way around a whiteboard. Follow these simple tips to get the most out of JIBB Room when you capture and share what you draw.
Write clearly
Using good quality whiteboard markers ensures your content is clear and easy to read, regardless of whether you're using JIBB Room.
Think of JIBB Room as an artificial eye that is looking at your whiteboard and translating your drawing into a digital rendering. If a human eye can't see what you're writing, neither will JIBB Room. We recommend using dark, bold colors to get the best results.
Keep your whiteboard clean
Whiteboards are generally most effective when you're starting with a fresh, blank surface, free of distracting smudges or the remains of a previous whiteboarding session still visible.
We recommend keeping your whiteboard as clean as possible before and while using JIBB Room, to avoid unwanted content from being displayed in your Workspace or in the Auto-Save PDF.
Don't block the camera
We know this sounds obvious, but don't forget that the camera needs to be able to see your whiteboard so JIBB Room can digitize your content.
We recommend you regularly move out of the view of the camera after you finish writing or erasing something, so JIBB Room can continually keep your content up to date. It's also good to make sure other people in the room or stationary objects are not blocking the camera's view.
