I'm using a laptop. Is there a stylus I can use to draw on a Miro board or is this only possible if I'm using a tablet?

Hi, I’m really interested in the pen feature - especially the smart pen. But it seems this is only available if you’re using a stylus with a touch screen device. 

Is it possible to use this feature with a stylus (e.g. a livescribe) that doesn’t require a touch screen?

 

Thanks

@Kellie - I am not familiar with Livescribe, but I can confirm that the Wacom tablet works: https://www.wacom.com/en-ca/products/pen-tablets

The Apple Pencil works on recent iPads.

Thanks for your responses. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I’m not using an iPad or any kind of touch screen. I have a laptop with a super large monitor and am trying to find a way to use a digital pen to draw on the Miro board.

 

Thanks!

It’s not an answer to your direct question, but it is something to consider: Log into Miro on your computer using your regular account.  Get a tablet with a smart pen and the Miro app. Log into that with a separate account (like a participant would use).  You can do all your admin stuff on your laptop and draw when needed on the tablet.

Miro is compatible with graphic tablets in general, even the cheapest one under $50.

Just connect your graphic tablet to your laptop and then you can draw or write in Miro with a stylus.
