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?

Hi, does anyone know if there is now the capacity for participants to use whiteboards anonymously? I want to create post it notes where people can share their thoughts without their name showing.
If there is a way to ensure anonymity this will be very helpful.

Hey! Could you tell me please how to hide and unhide frames from my students? For example, I'm teaching a lesson and I created some frames with learning materials and exercises, but I also want to place the answers for myself (but I don't want students to see them). How do I do that? I've found the feature to hide/unhide frames, but when I hide the frame it becomes invisible for me too. Please help)

I want the classic whiteboard back

I unticked/unchecked the button that says:

"Use Whiteboard by default if available"

 

I restarted zoom ... nothing has changed, I still get the old whiteboard that is not fit for purpose.

The prolem is with the new whiteboard, which is a disaster. Previously a whiteboard saved all the information. I teach kids, so we wrote sth on the wb, then switched to another app, or stopped sharing at all, and when we came back all previous info was there. I don't need these whiteboards saved in the cloud. I just need all info there during the lessons even if i close the whiteboard. How to solve it?
