Using whiteboards with image in breakout rooms

CHBAmeetings

Hello, 

 

I am using breakout rooms as part of an online training course. I would like the participants in the breakout rooms to be able to use (edit) a whiteboard that is pre-populated with an image. Each breakout room needs their own whiteboard, but the image is the same. Is there an easy way to do this? 


As a workaround, I have tried to join each breakout room and upload the image myself, but it does not always work and it is time consuming. Is there a fix for this?

Same question I have!

It would be great if participants in breakout rooms do not lose the whiteboard when the host moves to another breakout room.  I too find it time consuming having to reopen the whiteboard upon return.

I would love the option that the whiteboard we use in the main room is also open when people arrive to breakouts - as I have all the different working spaces on the same whiteboard. I think that would be a very good feature! Just like I have been using Miro before but then we used two different programs/windows.
