Is it possible to add a "lock" feature, which locks properties of an item while keeping it movable?

I use whiteboards in teaching: students should arrange several objects into correct order. It is annoying to see the students constantly changing the size of objects or accidently adding arrows, while trying to move them...

I'm using Version 6.1.12 on a PC and everything is working great, except I can't paste an image onto the whiteboard during a session that I am hosting.  If I open the same whiteboard after a session, I am able to paste onto it.  I use screenshots all the time and have never had a problem with it, but when I try it during a session, nothing happens.  What's worse, other participants in the session are able to take a screenshot (Windows-Shift-S) and paste it onto a whiteboard (Ctrl-V) without any problem.  Help!

Sharing a Zoom whiteboard after session is over; Zoom says administrator won't let me; I am admin

I want to share my Whiteboard with my students AFTER the session is over. I am able to share it with them during the session. I want them to have access to it later. Zoom says I can share it only with participants who are in my organization, as determined by my administrator. But I have no organization. I am a solo private tutor who uses Zoom. I am the administrator. 

 

How do I, as the administrator of my Zoom account, allow myself to share Whiteboards at the end of the session?

 

Thanks!

I am having this issue of late. when writing on the whiteboard with the help of a tablet, the writing isnt sharp any more - as it used to be - and should be

the whiteboard is 'smoothening out' the writing so that the writing is becoming difficult to read as it is 'slurred' - to use a piano term.

if im using the same tools to write on any Word window i've shared during the meeting, the writing is fine

Only whiteboard is a problem

Can someone please help me.

I teach online English using Zoom. I have additional information that I would like to share with my students. This is in an Excel file. I am running Windows 10.

I would like to import or copy, or whatever is possible - to get the said Excel sheet into or onto the whiteboard.

Can this be done?

Much appreciated. Keith.

Existing Whiteboard Not Loading for Participants

Hi there,

 

I run recurring meetings twice a week with the same participants in each. We use the same existing whiteboard for each of the meetings. I sometimes send participants into breakout rooms for certain exercises to be completed by opening the existing whiteboard for that particular meeting, going to a page in the whiteboard with instructions, and completing the exercise.

 

However, participants in one of my meetings are unable to even open the existing whiteboard that is attached to their meeting. They are not seeing the existing whiteboard available to open. They are able to open a new whiteboard, but that doesn't help. I've checked to make sure that I have invited those participants by their emails associated with their zoom accounts. But they're still unable to see the existing whiteboard I'm referencing for them to open. One of my participants says he just sees a white screen pop up when he goes to open an existing whiteboard.

 

My other meeting with separate meeting participants have been able to open their existing whiteboard just fine though.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Best,

Sadecia

I've used the Zoom whiteboard with clients before and they had easy access to the all the tools just by showing up in my zoom room.

 

Today, I had two clients whose cursors I could see on the whiteboard, but the toolbar was invisible to them and I had given them Collaborator rights. They kept getting the error message "host needs to allow or enable..." and I kept getting an error statement about allowing people outside my organization. The parts that I needed to click were greyed out and it seemed I had no working options to give my clients access to the whiteboard.
