Quick Start Basics

  1. If you haven't already, Create your account. Each account starts with a 30-day free trial so you can try Ludi in multiple meetings before you select a paid plan.

  2. Invite your team to your account.

  3. Create a board using one of the pre-set templates, or start with a blank board.

  4. Collaborate: Invite others to your board by simply sharing the board url with them.

  5. Enter Meeting Mode to enable private writing and other meeting tools.

Dashboard Basics

The Dashboard is where your boards are stored. From here you can:

  • Create a new board

  • Open, clone, delete previous boards

  • Manage boards with folders

  • Invite team members

  • Manage admin settings

  • Change your personal preferences

  • Access help and tutorials

For more detail take a look at our Dashboard guides

Board Basics

Creating your first board

You can create a board using one of Ludi's pre-set templates, or start from scratch with a blank board. When you create the board you will start in Design Mode, which gives you the tools to build and edit your board layout.

Everything on your board is editable and can be locked or unlocked.

Basic Controls and UI

  • Double-click anywhere to create a sticky note and write inside it.

  • Zoom in and out with your mouse wheel or trackpad. If this is not working as you expect, change your Mouse settings in the Preferences (top right).

  • Move around the board by clicking and holding the left mouse button down, to pan around the screen. Or you can hold the spacebar and click and drag to pan around.

  • Use the left toolbar to create objects - sticky notes, index cards, topics, voting, reaction tool, marker pen, tokens, and more. Have a look at the Toolbar guide for more info.

  • Use the "Gestures" (Lightning bolt icon) tools at the bottom of the left toolbar to present, orient and guide people around the board.

Share Your Board

Click on 'Share' in top right of the board UI to get your board URL and set access rules. Once people join the board you will see their avatar moving around the board in real-time!

And that's it! You're all set to run your first meeting. We've design Ludi to be extremely intuitive, but read on for more tips on running a meeting.
