Problem with using stylus and tablet for whiteboard

Hi,

I've been using Zoom for a while for teaching and often write things on the whiteboard with my stylus and tablet. I have a Wacom tablet and stylus. Until recently, everything has gone fine. However, for some reason, now when I write things using the stylus and tablet some of the strokes are recorded and some are not. Sometimes strokes will trigger a ripple around the cursor but the stroke won't be recorded. In other apps, I don't have this problem, only with Zoom. And as I said, this only became a problem recently. It has become so annoying that I have to screen share and use a whiteboard somewhere else. I did a search on Google but couldn't find how to fix it.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

I share the screen with Microsoft Paint and that is a bit better w/ a stylus. I avoid the Whiteboards on Zoom w/ styluses and use a mouse instead to write on the Whiteboards.

Hi there - I could easily use Notes on the IPad and share my screen and there is no issue with that with the stylus. The problem with that is there doesn’t seem to be a way for the client I am tutoring to annotate on the same screen I am using on Notes and have it be saved to send to the client , which can be done on the Zoom whiteboard easily. There is a way for them to annotate on the Zoom call which overlays on top of my Notes screen, but then the clients annotations can’t be saved. Does anyone have an alternative program to Zoom whiteboard that allows for multiple users to annotate simultaneously AND have all users annotations saved at the end of the session to be exported as a png at the end of the session like you can with Zoom Whiteboard? Can you do this with Microsoft Paint?
