    How do I hold up the screen?
    Community Answer
    Most smartboards come with a black holder. You drill it into the wall (if it's a permanent smartboard), then put the smartboard over the holder.

    You cannot "create a smart board from scratch." You must go to a store or go online and buy a smart board.

    The specifications depend on the model and setup. Typically, Smart Boards require a compatible power source for the speakers, which may connect via an integrated system or separate audio ports.
