What is Digital Graphic Recording?

A person draws an illustration of the Apollo lunar lander on a digital tablet using a stylus, with multiple laptops and screens visible in the background on a desk.

Make your ideas big, visual, large, and instantly shareable with your audience.

Digital graphic recording — also known as “live virtual visual note-taking“ — transforms online meetings, conferences, and webinars into engaging and memorable experiences.

Instead of flat slides, participants see real-time illustrations that capture ideas, connections, and outcomes.

Make it happen

A conference with a large screen showing colorful illustrated notes and diagrams about connections, mental health, and workplace topics. Several people are standing and seated in front of the screen, with a stage and blue lighting.

A large auditorium with a stage, where two speakers are seated at a table with a banner that reads 'Texas State Transdisciplinary Health Research Center.' Audience members are seated, listening and watching a presentation projected on a screen above the stage, with some standing along the balcony.

Why Use Digital Graphic Recording?

Digital graphic recording is the process of drawing live visuals during virtual events using a tablet and screen-sharing software.

These real-time illustrations serve as a visual record that helps participants remember, reflect, and act.

Other benefits of digital graphic recording include:

Boosting Engagement: Keep online participants focused and energized.
Increasing Retention: Visuals help audiences recall 65% more content compared to text-only presentations (source).
Fostering Collaboration: Visual maps encourage conversation, alignment, and creativity.
Delivering Takeaways: Participants leave with polished digital images to share and revisit.
