Resolved! Sharing whiteboards in breakout rooms

I have set up a number of whiteboards (have purchased the whiteboard add on license) and want to share the whiteboards in separate break out rooms. I want the groups to edit the whiteboards in the breakout rooms and bring them back to the main group.

I have not been able to find out how I can share the whiteboards with the breakout groups, I am unable to share the link in the chat as the main chat is wiped when they go into break outs. If I send it as a broadcast message they can't click on the link.

 

Even if I make it one whiteboard to share across all groups I can't not share it to the breakout rooms like you can with a shared screen.

 

I have reviewed all similar questions in the community and have found no solution, I have done the training with no solution to this problem shown. Please advise.

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?

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.

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.

As of today, April 24, 2024, when sharing the WhiteBoard, I can no longer see the participant video. I have been using Zoom for years and I have not had this issue until today. I can see the participant video when I am not sharing the WhiteBoard. However, if the WhiteBoard is being shared, the only video I see is the host video. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi!

As a techer I use classic board to write during classes. When I close it and share documents and then I go back to the board I was usin, the text I previously wrote disappeared! I also tried to save it, but still disappears.

Never happened before. I wonder if you had the same pronlem and possibly consequent to a new version.

It is relly annoying, because at the end of the session, before closing, I use to save the board and send it in attachment to the students.

Any help? Thanks!

Good morning!

 

I use Zoom in Polish and I want to continue doing so. I use Windows 11 in Polish and I want to continue doing so. I temporarily changed language to English, in order to take a screenshot of my keyboard settings.

 

My problem is that Zoom has some sort of problem with words. I searched this issue online and found that it's usually a problem with Windows, not Zoom, but where exactly is the problem? In settings, yes but where exactly? I don't understand exactly what needs to be changed, so that Zoom and Windows understand that I don't want any word to be underlined in any language, no matter how correct or incorrect it may be in any language.

 

See 3 screenshots. Please could someone advise?

 

Thanks in advance!
Inspector Green

 

PS: Windows 11, Zoom version 6.3.6 56144
