Whiteboard

When I attend zoom meetings (NOT HOST), the whiteboard works no matter the device i use or the hosts use except for one guy, when i attend his meetings, i cant see the whiteboard. He has private sessions and his whiteboard works with everyone except me and i can see everyone's whiteboard except his. How can we fix this problem?

Hi, I'm using my tablet to draw on the whiteboard when teaching maths through zoom (on a secondary account that I invite to the meeting). My problem is that I can't move the view of the whiteboard on the tablet. On the laptop, when viewing the whiteboard, I can scroll sideways to continue writing downwards, but on the tablet, no combination of stylus and/or fingertips accomplishes that; it just takes that as drawing input (or whatever tool I happen to have selected). Does anyone know a way to scroll on the whiteboard on a tablet?  Thanks in advance!

I do tutoring and frequently need to add a picture of the problem we are working on to the whiteboard during the meeting. Right now, I have to have two instances of the whiteboard open. Please add all of the whiteboard tools during the live meeting (or at least have it as an option). Also, currently the eraser will erase the pictures, so when we are handwriting the work for the math problem and make a mistake, we often accidentally erase the picture. Other whiteboards have the user select the picture and delete it with the delete or backspace key, which fixes this problem. This is especially a problem when you can't add pictures to the whiteboard during the meeting and the undo key also puts it back on top of everything written down. Also, as mentioned on previous posts, please turn off the double click making the whiteboard full screen. It is quite disruptive. There also needs to be an option to force users to the same whiteboard view, so if people get lost, we can brin

I've now set up three whiteboards with my own pre-prepared content for use within an upcoming workshop within the web-browser but when I go into a zoom meeting to trial them, all the formatting has disappeared leaving the items floating around the space and the table that was formerly there has disappeared.  It's time consuming to redo the formatting that I already did.Does anyone have any experience with this? Or any fixes?

Prevent Hijacking with people using Whiteboard in Zoom Meeting. People with Zoom Version 5.10.3, That was released on April 18th, 2022.Since the ad for the feature shows up in every client that updates, someone is sure to do an "OOh, I wonder what this is." Admin Settings: Login to Zoom Portal , Then Under Admin , Account Management , Account Settings. Then click on Whiteboard (New) at top , Their is the setting you would need to disable to get the options to disable. Push slider to the left and disable. Then push the lock on all 3 options.In meeting whiteboard (NEW)Out-of-Meeting Whiteboard (NEW)Whiteboard cloud sharing Hope this helps, They will not be able to Hijack meeting with Whiteboard Moving forward. Love & ServiceBrad W. , Tampa Nightly Newcomers Zoom      

Hi!Whiteboards do not support characters in Polish language- they appear when copied to whiteboard from another location, but I cannot directly put them usuing usual shortcuts.Anyone manage to change language of input / change font style to one that is compatible not only with standard alphabet characters?

Hello,I am tutoring a student and want to use a whiteboard during our meetings, but the whiteboard option never shows up when I go to screen-sharing options. I have read many articles and checked several settings, such as making sure annotations and whiteboards are both enabled, however, I cannot get the whiteboard option to show up when I am in a session. Is there something I am overlooking?Thank you!

I'm having issues with the whiteboard that I didn't have before it was updated. 1.  People in my meetings cannot see the whiteboard although my screen shows it is being shared. 2.  When I save it, it's a mess so has to be heavily reconfigured before I can share it. 3.  In the page preview function, only the first page shows there is content, but when you click on subsequent pages, the content is there. I'd appreciate any tips/advice.  One short rant, why did Zoom change something that worked well to something that is more cumbersome and less effective?  

Hi folks. I have a XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro that I use for the whiteboard feature with Zoom. It has worked *flawlessly* up until the last update from Zoom over the weekend. Now it is laggy and almost unusable. The issue isn't with the drawing tablet, it works fine with Paint 3D. But when I use the "Share/Whiteboard" feature in a Zoom meeting, I can start to write and sometimes it writes when the stylus touches the tablet surface and sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone know if the update broke the whiteboard feature in Zoom? Thanks.

I teach yoga classes on Zoom meetings and would like to post a list of props that students will need for that class that they will see as they log on (or any other current news I'd like to post, like 'no classes next week due to holiday', etc.).

New to Zoom. Just wondering if it’s possible to post pictures on a Zoom Whiteboard or Paste a Screenshot from the Clipboard using an iPad Mini 4. Your help would be very much appreciated!! Thanks, Will.

Can I use the whiteboard in this way? Then have it disappear once I arrive and start teaching? Thank you!Barbarawww.ComeToYoga.com

Hi,   If I write on the white board with a wacom tablet, it always register my fast writing as double tapping, so I keep entering and exiting the fullscreen mode when writing. It is very disruptive. Is it possible to turn off this feature and just stick a button to full screen somewhere? Thanks.   There was a discussion like this before but it was not noticed.   Best,   Cathy

In Whiteboard, whether viewing from Web, the Zoom client, or in-meeting, when we attempt to set sharing/editor rights to "Anyone", it pops up with the message "A server error occurred.  Try again later or if error persists Contact Us for help."  The Contact Us link does nothing.  Anyone else had this issue and/or found a workaround?  I will submit a ticket to Zoom if I can't find anything. 

While using Whiteboard, a couple of collaborators scrolled away from the active area and could not find their way back. Even zooming out to 20% (the farthest we can zoom out) did not display enough of the Whiteboard for them to find the active area again. Is there any way for collaborators to automatically bring themselves back to the active area of the Whiteboard in situations like this? Thanks!

During a presentation, I switch between whiteboard pages but participants have to change it manually and it causes confusion. Is there a way that when I create a new page and start editing it, the participants are automatically seeing this screen?

Double clicking the whiteboard makes it go fullscreen. This would not usually be a problem, but when using a separate writing tablet, we will often inadvertently double tap the stylus when writing quickly. This causes us to continuously alternate between going full screen and windowed, which is seriously disturbing to the class. Is there a way to fix this? Perhaps by disabling the double click feature?

Is there a comprehensive list of the original Classic Whiteboard features or a comparison list between Classic and New Whiteboard?  I'm featuring the new Whiteboard in a newsletter I'm writing for my work and never had an opportunity to use the previous Whiteboard so have no idea of what features carried over and what the new goodies are.For example, in classic Whiteboard, were connector arrows available to connect shapes?  I know there are others.  Any help would be appreciated!

Is anybody trying to use the new zoom whiteboard with trainees or students? I would love to introduce this new tool to the teachers that I work with, however, I don't see a way around letting them collaborate on the whiteboard without forcing them to log into their zoom account. Also, some of them don't have a Zoom account. Is there a workaround for this? When working with Google jamboard, you have the option to invite anybody with the link to edit a jamboard. Is this not a feature of the new Zoom whiteboard? Thanks!

I'm working with Zoom on a Mac. I can see that I have content on the Mac clipboard but the 'paste' option is greyed out on Zoom's whiteboard. How do I paste an item onto the whiteboard? Thanks for your help! Vic

Unfortunately when I type my students name or email , it is not enabled.  I get a red circle with a line inside. 

Hello! I am having some problems using the stylus to draw on Zoom Whiteboards... whenever I draw on it with multiple strokes that start from the same place (like at the top of the letter A) it will select and move the first stroke and draw while moving the first stroke, or just select and move the first stroke and stop drawing. This causes a mess on the whiteboard and I can't really draw what I want to at all. I tried using an iPad and Apple Pencil as well as a Windows tablet and another type of stylus (not sure of the name), and the same thing happens with both devices/styluses. It happens both on the Zoom App and when using Zoom in a web browser. It seems like it's a problem within the platform and may not be something I can fix on my end. I hope this can be fixed soon!!

After the recent zoom update a couple of days ago, my surface pen stops working intermittently when I use the whiteboard during a meeting or when I am annotating on a shared screen. I did not see this problem when I write on a stand-alone zoom whiteboard or on microsoft whiteboard. I restarted my computer and disconnected the pen and paired it again.I have attached a picture of what I get when I wrote the following sentence on the whiteboard."What is wrong with the most recent zoom update? My surface pen does not work"Anyone experiencing this issue?

Problem 1:I own a paid Zoom license. I open a new shared Whiteboard. During a meeting some participants are allowed to SEE and WRITE on this board while other participants can only see the board. Logging in in my account where is the switch that ALL participants can WRITE on the board. (As host I have to allow them to enter from the waiting room, therefore there are no uninvited participants)Problem 2:Working outside of a meeting on a new whiteboard I have an “insert picture” button in the toolbox.  Using the same board in a meeting, this button is not longer part of the toolbox. It would be nice, to insert a picture DURING a meeting. Thank you for your help
