Embedded video in the whiteboard not showing up for participants

I'm using Zoom to teach online English lessons to a young student. I embedded videos into the whiteboard but my student sees a static image, she can't hear or see the video. I also tested this with a second computer, and faced the same issue. As a host I can see and hear the video, but the participant doesn't hear or see the video even though I'm sharing the whiteboard. 

 

I know I can share the video from Youtube by sharing my screen, but going back and forth between the whiteboard and screen-sharing other content disrupts the in-class acitivities. 

 

I'm using zoom workspace 6.3.6 on a Mac.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

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.... Show more

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.

We collaborate using a Zoom whiteboard, that has lots of small objects that we use to drag and drop into lists.  It never consistently snaps to grid correctly, resulting in a messy looking board.  Sometimes it will, but other times no matter how little you try to move them they never align.   Anyone know a way to either turn off the snap-to-grid, or to get the objects to align correctly?

Physical pen to draw in zoom whiteboards

Is there a physical pen that I can use to draw in zoom whiteboards, instead of using the trackpad or the mouse?

Whiteboard comments glitching

Hi all,

I’ve been using zoom whiteboard for a while and today when i click on my past comments they don’t know anymore, they appreared to be glitching and unstable. I’ve restarted my laptop, restated zoom , updated the app to the latest version, used the browser, but none of them worked. For new comments, that's not a problem - if I create a new one then it works properly. Does anyone have the same problem, and if yes how did you solve it?

Thank you!

Hi, I cannot access the comments on my whiteboard. I have the Zoom app on my laptop updated to the latest version (6.3.10) have restarted the app and my laptop several times, and even opened the whiteboard in a new browser, but nothing worked. If I add a new comment then I can open it, but any other past comment can't be opened - whether it's from me or from others.

Enable multi-player games

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.

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.

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!
