"Spacebar" doesn't work in textbox on Whiteboard

I am using a Mac and the newest Whiteboard in Zoom Workplace. If I create a text box or a sticky note, I can type in it but cannot put a space between words. However, if I click on the standard Zoom chat the spacebar works fine. Does anyone else have this issue? When I try searching Google for this issue it just keeps thinking that "Zoom" refers to making the whiteboard bigger or smaller (i.e. zooming in and out).

Resolved! Copying whiteboard content

I have a teaching exercise that I would like to do with my class. I want to break them into two separate breakout rooms, give them a prompt, and ask them each to brainstorm ideas on a whiteboard. After they finish brainstorming, I would like to bring the entire group back together and display all of their ideas on a single common whiteboard. 

 

My problem is that I am not finding a way to copy the contents of their breakout room whiteboards to a common full-group whiteboard. I have tried to copy and paste the contents, but this does not work (it seems that in order to open a second whiteboard, the first one must close and then I lose access to that content, even if I have copied it to my clipboard. 

 

(Zoom Workplace running on my desktop PC)

 

I'm feeling stuck and would be most appreciative of any ideas to make this exercise work. Thanks.

Hello - I've created a zoom whiteboard containing 12 different pages for a shared project for work. Whiteboard is supposedly auto-saving my work but after closing out of Zoom and returning after a few hours, my updated work is gone. I've tried saving versions of my work, and that doesn't seem to save either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After yesterday's update I couldn't open the classic whiteboard.

I've followed the instructions in the help me database and closed and reopened Zoom but it still opens the new board.

I've unchecked the box that says "Use Whiteboard by default if available" because there's a message that says "The new Zoom Whiteboard will open by default when screen sharing. Unselect this setting if you prefer to open the classic Whiteboard instead."

Whiteboard and sharing the sound

Hi, after the update I am not able to share the whiteboard and the sound at the background at the same time. The option "share the sound" is visible but it is not possible to choose it. The button is locked.

Resolved! Disabling Annotation

After searching diligently thru prior conversations for annotation controls, I've run across things like this:

 

  1. In the navigation panel, click Account Management then Account Settings.
  2. Click the Meeting tab.
  3. Under In Meeting (Basic), verify that Annotation is enabled.

I have no idea what the navigation panel is (there's nothing labelled as such), and I'm unable to find anything called "account management", "account settings", a "meeting" tab, or an "in meeting (basic)" item. I can locate "Settings" under the "Zoom Workplace" menu, but nothing in the resultant window refers to any of the above, let alone annotation controls.

 

I don't want my users scribbling all over my screen during my presentation, but I can't find any way to turn off that ability. I'd expect it to be one of the items in the sidebar of the "Settings" window, but it's not. Where is it?

If there is a way to ensure anonymity this will be very helpful.
