Anonymous Whiteboard Interactions

[PatriciaL]

Is it possible to allow participants to post and interact anonymously on a whiteboard?

Hello @PatriciaL - not currently. From outside a meeting, a user needs to be logged into Zoom.

Technically, a user could access a WB from inside a meeting anonymously, but any edits would still be attributed to the user's display name.

Thank you for the information, are there any plans to make this an option? It is important to our students (due to the content) to be anonymous.

I would love this feature too - I teach sensitive topics that often touch students closely - anonymous expression of ideas supports psychological safety for collaboration, especially in one-off webinars where there we cannot create deep trust and a sense of community.

Totally agree, it would be great if zoom could add this into whiteboard so people can comment on topics that are sensitive. I am also wondering if there Is there a way that as the host, I can turn or switch off all collaborator cursors so we cannot see who is writing what in the whiteboard?  I need to have it so people can write things anonymously as I am exploring very sensitive topics and people will not collaborate if they know their comments can be linked to them.
