# A visual collaboration platform for classes and teams

On a Padlet board, everyone posts text, images, video and links, comments on each other's work, and sees changes as they happen.

Padlet is a collaborative visual board: a padlet holds posts — text, images, links, files, drawings, audio and video — on layouts such as a wall, grid, timeline, map or canvas, and many people can contribute at once.

## Post together in real time

Invite your team or class, and everyone posts at once with no page to reload.

## Post any kind of file

Add documents, audio, drawings and links, and each attachment shows as a rich preview rather than a bare URL.

> I've used it with my students to communicate with students from around the world, so they can share ideas back and forth and communicate either through video or text or audio

## Attach files from Google Drive or OneDrive

Pull shared files straight from your cloud storage instead of downloading and uploading them again.

## Arrange the work visually

Pick from nine formats, and keep it free form, sort ideas into columns, or put posts on a map.

Comment on a teammate's post, or upvote, downvote, like or rate it.

## See who posted what, and when

The activity panel logs every post, edit and comment, so nothing gets lost on a busy board.

## Get notified when the board changes

Follow updates by email or push notification, or subscribe to the board's private RSS feed.

## Decide who can see the board

Keep it public or private, add a password, invite only certain people, or restrict it to your team or school.

## Share by link, QR code or embed

Collaborators join from a link without logging in, and you can embed the board on your website or LMS.

## One collaboration platform instead of several

Chances are your group works together in more than one way, and Padlet handles many of them so you stop juggling tools.
