I use Zoom to connect with long distant grandchildren.  We also like to play games using the game room concept of several sites such as,  https://buddyboardgames.com/ and https://playingcards.io/ .  We play these games in a separate window while in our Zoom session.  I believe the structure is similar to Kooht, which Zoom has recently added as an extension but I have not personally tried it. 

I use the whiteboard to do joint drawing with one my grandsons.  We can also play games like  Tic Tac Toe and hangman.  Incorporating some of the game rooms we currently use in separate windows into Zoom would make it even better.  While Zoom is focused on supporting organizations, it is also great for staying connected with grandkids and other long distant friends and  family members.   

I've been using the Zoom Whiteboard (not the physical whiteboard) on my computer with a Wacom drawing tablet.  Unfortunately, something has changed and now my penstrokes are being eaten and replaced with dots.  I believe this is some kind of double click detection or some other gesture.

Here I try to write the especially problematic letter "F" 7 times.  It failed each time.

Here I tried to write the simple equation "y = mx + b"

And here I wrote the alphabet and "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" without corrections.

Each of these was done with Windows Ink active and has a little Windows Ink ripple effect whenever it happens.  When I disable Windows Ink, it still happens, but without the ripple and less frequently. 

Is this a known problem with a known fix?  It makes it pretty much impossible to use the whiteboard.

EDIT:  I accidentally added this discussion to the wrong place, but I don't see how to move or delete it.

In larger companies with more than five hundred employees, it becomes challenging during meetings to immediately understand who is in the room. It is often unclear whether a participant is a product manager, an engineering manager, a quality analyst, a developer or someone from a commercial team. This creates confusion at the start of many meetings, since we sometimes spend time trying to figure out people’s roles rather than focusing on the discussion itself.

Right now the only reliable workaround is to search for each name in Slack, open profiles and check their role. This is slow, disruptive and does not scale in fast paced conversations.

A solution that would allow participants to reveal their role temporarily during a meeting would be incredibly valuable. For example, showing a role next to the participant’s name, toggling between display modes or even enabling a shortcut that momentarily switches all participant labels to show their job title. Any lightweight approach that avoids manual name editing would already be a significant improvement.

This capability would save time, reduce friction in cross functional meetings and provide clearer context for everyone involved. It would be a game changing experience for large organisations.

I am subscribed to Zoom and have the package allowing me to use up to 3 whiteboards. This has been working really well ever since I started using it, over a year ago, including pasting images (using Ctrl + V) and inserting images and documents of multiple pages. 

Today I allowed the Zoom update, and I can no longer paste or upload anything. I get a note saying "Exceeded capacity" and the image disappears/does not remain when I next open the whiteboard, nor can members on my call see the images. 

What has happened? Obviously, I deleted lots from my whiteboards to hopefully allow for more space, but alas, it continues to tell me that I have "Exceeded capacity". 

Help. 

Hello everyone!

The first time I used Zoom and Workspace in my Laptop (in 2023), the Zoom software was downloaded and installed by a literate-Linux system friend. However, once I updated the Zoom version (2024) and my aforementioned friend and to downloaded and installed the updated version, my Zoom Workplace was no longer ready to use it. For that reason and since then, I have to join my Zoom account through the Zoom Web interface.

The worst part of it is that: the Zoom always asks me to join my Zoom meetings through my Zoom Workplace and sometimes it simply does not allow me to join any Zoom meetings. It is really bothering. I am about to cancel my Zoom account.

Do you have any suggesting I could do before I proceed to cancel my Zoom account? Thanks.

I have only 1 whiteboard showing in my whiteboard tab, the trash is empty as well. So I am definitely not beyond the 3 editable whiteboard limit. Still the whiteboard won't load beyond 50%. I have been trying for a week. Weirdly enough, even when I am not the host and someone else is sharing a whiteboard with me, it still won't load. Not even read-only whiteboards. 

Hi everyone!

I would like to use a Wacom drawing board (or any other one, I don't care which one) for the whiteboard feature during a zoom call. I DON'T want to share my scree, but really use the built-in whiteboard for video calls. Does this work with a drawing tablet? And if so, do you have a recommendation?

Thanks for your help!
