Copying whiteboard content

I have a teaching exercise that I would like to do with my class. I want to break them into two separate breakout rooms, give them a prompt, and ask them each to brainstorm ideas on a whiteboard. After they finish brainstorming, I would like to bring the entire group back together and display all of their ideas on a single common whiteboard. 

 

My problem is that I am not finding a way to copy the contents of their breakout room whiteboards to a common full-group whiteboard. I have tried to copy and paste the contents, but this does not work (it seems that in order to open a second whiteboard, the first one must close and then I lose access to that content, even if I have copied it to my clipboard. 

 

(Zoom Workplace running on my desktop PC)

 

I'm feeling stuck and would be most appreciative of any ideas to make this exercise work. Thanks.

HI @eshelton2308 

1.  Host open whiteboard in main room

2. Students join breakout room(aka. BO) and open whiteboard , and rename it to a special title

3. Host open out-of-meeting whiteboard, and find the whiteboard created in BO, then copy it to meeting whiteboard.
