Virtual System Design - which tool to use?
Have interview coming up with fb and want to know which tool people find it easy to use for the system design interview.
Options:
- Google draw - I tried it but it's time consuming trying to fit the boxes and arrows. I like diagrams.net but it not offer real time collaboration feature like google. Any other service that offers collaboration features?
- White board - draw in whiteboard and point web cam at it. But not sure how well the interviewer can see the whiteboard
- Screen share - use any online tool like diagrams.net and screen share via bluejeans. Never tried bluejeans screen share option but in general, screen share results in poor quality sharing. Not sure whether it's usable for interviews.
All people who have interviewed recently, what worked best for you?

I shared my screen over Bluejeans and it worked perfectly fine. Excalidraw a awesome tool. I did create some basic shapes like CDN, Load Balancer, Block Storage, Mobile Client, Web Client etc beforehand to reuse them. I also remembered all keyword shortcuts which really helped in speeding up the drawing.
Zoom's drawing tool works fine. Also, been using bluejeans for 4 years. Screen share works fine if your internet connection is good
