In companion mode, one Room Series device and one Board Series device work together as a combined system.
You can use the Room Series device to make calls and use the Cisco Board for whiteboarding. Shared content is shown on both devices, and the whiteboards are shared to the room device automatically in calls.
A touch controller is used for call control and other settings.
If you open an existing Webex App space on the board, you can use the board to work on shared files and whiteboards.
