How do whiteboards with real time collaboration work?

I’m wondering how whiteboards on zoom or Microsoft teams allow more than one user to write in real time!

As each letter is typed, deleted, the cursor is moved, something is drawn, or posted that update is sent to every single person with the board open and their client adds that content to their view of the board. This stream of data is being sent from everyone to everyone. It’s basically the same concept as an online game. Instead of content on a board you are editing your characters location, appearance, abilities active, health, and more. This is all sent to everyone in view distance so they all accurately can see what you’re doing.
