1. A method to be executed at least in part in a computing device for capturing whiteboard content, the method comprising: determining whether a background color of the image is non-white; when the background color is determined to be non-white, determining whether the capture device has parameters that are configurable; when the capture device is determined to have parameters that are configurable: configuring the parameters to remove the non-white background from images obtained by the capture device, thereby yielding whiteboard content; capturing whiteboard content through an image capture device; locally caching the captured content; when the capture device is determined to have parameters that are not configurable: allowing a user to select between two filtering modes for the captured content, including: a first filtering mode in which the captured content is modified to remove moving objects, persons and a non-white background, thereby leaving the whiteboard content; and a second filtering mode in which the captured content is unmodified; presenting the captured content to a user; in response to receiving a user indication for transmitting the captured content to at least one recipient, transmitting the captured content to the at least one recipient through one of a default transmission mode and a user-defined transmission mode; in response to receiving a user indication to store the captured content, storing the captured content in at least one of a local data store and a remote data store; and deleting the locally cached captured content.
