I am trying to use the whiteboard function for an activity that a group would complete outside a meeting. Most participants are not in my organization. Basically, i want to use this like I would use a google jamboard (but with the added cool features that I see on zoom whiteboard).

 

When I try to share, it says I can't share with external users, and when external users try to log in, they need to ask to be invited to the jamboard. I would like a link that I can send that allows anyone wiht the link to access and edit the whiteboard outside of a meeting (again, like Jamboard does). 

 

Is this functionality available? I can't figure out why it wouldn't be but I have spend 45 minutes trying to figure out how to do it. THanks!

"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.

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