Participants unable to see real-time typing on my Whiteboard

I created a whiteboard a few months ago that I have been using weekly in my meeting. Until today, participants have been able to see what I am typing in realtime and see when my cursor highlights words or sentences. Today however, they could only see the new information after I stopped typing and the whiteboard finished saving. 

I have checked that everyone has collaborator status, and the only thing that I have done differently was that I had shared the whiteboard with them and set them as editors. 

I tried changing their collaborator status, unsharing the whiteboard, closing the whiteboard and re-opening it. Nothing works.

Hello,

 

I always record my meetings and I often use whiteboards. I like the 'Laser' in the whiteboard to temporarily hightlight some part of the whiteboard while talking and referring to the highlighted area in my speech.

 

However, when I later check the recordings, the laser is not at all visible in the video recording. I guess this is a bug, isn't it?

 

Regards,

-Rob.

Embedded YouTube or animated GIFs in Whiteboard become frozen images in cloud recordings

I'm using a recent version of Zoom (Zoom Workspace).

 

In my meetings I use whiteboards with animated GIF images and embedded YouTube movies, which play fine during the meetings. I also record the meetings to the cloud and then the GIF animations and YouTube videos are frozen images (So I do play them in the meetings, but they don't play in the recordings!)

 

I suppose this a bug in Zoom recording/whiteboards, or is something wrong with my settings?

 

Thank you!

-R.L.

When trying to create a new whiteboard I always get the message that I have reached the limit of editable whiteboards.

A check for existing whiteboards shows that there are no whiteboards in my account.

The message even shows the name of a whiteboard dated in 2023, which I can’t find.

 

All existing whiteboards should be deleted so that I can start from scratch with 3 new editable whiteboards.

I need the functionality and should be able to use it with my basic account.

Zoom Whiteboard becomes View-Only after several days of creating

If I create a new whiteboard during a meeting, we can both use it without a problem for that meeting. The next day the whiteboard still shows normal status with no View-Only tag.

A week later, when we meet again, the whiteboard has a View-Only tag added to it automatically without me even logging into zoom or doing anything in between that time. This happens every week when I meet with my teacher.

 

It can not be removed, you can not choose Collaborating when opening the board because it thinks I am not the owner of my own board.

 

You can not touch (iPad) or click (PC) on the View-Only displayed at the top to change it in any way.

 

You must copy the board and create a new one, which will again become View-Only automatically after a week's time before the next meeting.

 

How in the world do you remove this tag or prevent it from ever being applied to your board in the first place and how do you allow yourself to choose Collaborating.

 

Also how do you mute the volume on the iPad so you don't hear yourself talking when using a tablet as a whiteboard during a meeting. The tablet is just for drawing on the whiteboard, it shouldn't be trying to host the entire meeting as the PC is doing this job.

I went to open my WhiteBoard that I have been using for the last 6 month to organize research and now all of the sudden it won't open. I received the error message: "There is an error loading recent version of the page. Use version history to recover previous version of the page." But I have looked everywhere and I can't find a version history link or button that will do this. I have also submitted a help ticket and I have gotten zero response. Can someone please help me recover 6 months of my work??

Whiteboard: “Disable annotation" feature missing

I teach kids who need to be able to scroll without writing on the Whiteboard. I also need to be able to turn on and off their ability to write on the whiteboard. After using this feature in my online classroom for a while, it now appears to be missing.

 

As I recall, in the past I’ve been able to simply turn off the ability for a child to write on the whiteboard: easily found and easily done. Help files direct me to the three dots (More) dropdown menu, where “disable annotation” should be one of the options. However, my “More” dropdown does not include “disable annotation.” I’ve searched every menu and control I can find without success. This feature is absolutely necessary for my daily work.

Здравствуйте! При работе использую доски, встроенные в Zoom. При истечении некоторого времени она становится доступна только для просмотра. Это происходит из-за того, что я редко в нее захожу? Или как бы часто я в нее не заходил, без подписки она всегда будет переходить в этот режим? Заранее спасибо)
