Claim 24:
25. A method, comprising:
establishing, using a first client device and a second client device, a whiteboarding session between (i) a server storing data for a digital whiteboard and (ii) both the first client device and the second client device;
transmitting, from the first client device to the server, first viewport position coordinates identifying a first area in the digital whiteboard;
transmitting, from the second client device, second viewport position coordinates identifying a second area in the digital whiteboard, the first area and the second area being at least partially non-overlapping areas in the digital whiteboard;
receiving, by the first client device and during the whiteboarding session, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the first area and configured for display on the first client device, without receiving any data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the first area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard;
receiving, by the second client device and during the whiteboarding session, data representing content for an object having position coordinates within the second area and configured for display on the second client device, without receiving any data representing portions of objects that (i) have position coordinates outside the second area and (ii) remain within the digital whiteboard; and
displaying (i) the content for the object having position coordinates within the first area on a display of the first client device and (ii) the content for the object having position coordinates within the second area on a display of the second client device.
