Shortcut key to "clear all drawings"?

Is there any keyboard shortcut for "clear all drawings", while doing annotations in a meeting? In the zoom client in Windows, or other supported OSs? I find none documented in the UI, or in the online help (looked at the help for Win, Mac, and Linux), or indeed in googling more widely.

(One blogger showed some including a command-shift-c, which would seem a MacOS shortcut. I could not get any combination of ctrl and/or alt and/or shift and c to do that on Windows--on the latest zoom client.)

 

If it's not possible, might anyone from Zoom be able to chime in on whether it might ever be considered? or where best should such a request be made? Thanks.

    Unfortunately, the clear all shortcut is not available at this time.  It does sounds like a great, idea, however, and I would recommend you submit a feature request here!

    Has this really not been addressed yet?

    I don't like the new updated whiteboard. It takes too long to erase all my drawings. I wish Zoom would fix this and provide a "clear all" option under whiteboards. It would save a lot of time!

    Consider adding a timed deletion (think Slack's annotation implementation). Annotations automatically remove themselves after 5 or 10 seconds.

    Zoom really needs to an an "clear all" option in their whiteboards.

    How can there not be a hotkey to remove annotations?  I just discovered annotations and they are wonderful, except for one big flaw.... you are talking to people, in a meeting and you have to pause and click a trashcan and read something to find the clear annotations... instead of just doing a simple hotkey.... Please create a hotkey to clear annotations....
