Description of all Whiteboard templates

Hello, is there a written description of all whiteboard templates in a single document?

 

In the thumbnail of each template there is a section "About the Template". Is that information available for all templates in a single document?

Hello. I am having trouble emailing a whiteboard. When I type in an email address (@yahoo.com, for example) and click 'Share', I am given a prompt that reads: "___(my name)____________ has disabled collaboration with users outside your organization". What does this mean and how can I email/share my whiteboard with users? I've attached a screenshot for reference. Thank you!

Unable to see whiteboard in the Zoom Workplace Window

Since the last update to zoom_amd64.deb on May 18th, when I open a Whiteboard, I can see the selection of new or previously used Whiteboards as it should be. Also, when I enter the same session as a separate user on my iPad, I can see the whiteboard ... Show more

Since the last update to zoom_amd64.deb on May 18th, when I open a Whiteboard, I can see the selection of new or previously used Whiteboards as it should be. Also, when I enter the same session as a separate user on my iPad, I can see the whiteboard after opening.
Alas, on my PC, in the Workplace Window, the Whiteboard only appears for a few seconds, with the icons for a guided tour of the new functions. After that, the Window remains pitch black, only the blue and red Controls on top (You are collaborating on this whiteboard / Close whiteboard) visible and functional. The Whiteboard itself remains visible, no controls, no error codes, just black.

 

I am using Zoom in Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS on a Lenovo V 14-IIL

Severe Performance Issues with Recent Zoom Update for Educational Use

I use Zoom only for educational purposes, and since the recent update, everything has been a disaster. My students see my whiteboard with a significant delay, making it very difficult for them to follow my explanations because they do not see what I write in real-time on my whiteboard, which appears when I share my screen. They can see graphs with Cartesian axes and other tools that my native whiteboard has. Additionally, I can pause the sharing, and they can perform the operations, then, when I resume the shared screen, they check if they have done it correctly. However, with the native whiteboard, this is not possible. I am suffering a lot with this new update when everything used to work well before. Furthermore, I have students with not very good connections, and since the update, everything has slowed down for them. Webex is a cheaper alternative that does what I need and is exactly what Zoom did just before its absurd update. I don't understand why something that was working well is now performing so poorly. The AI integration is useless to me, and I believe it should be an optional choice, not forced with new loaded and useless versions.

Virus in Zoom Desktop installer Windows 11

I have a new Windows 11 PC and tried to install Zoom Desktop, but Windows Defender flagged the installer as having a virus. Is this possible? How do install Zoom?

Zoom Whiteboards

Is it possible to set up whiteboards so that posters are anonymous? I'm trying to find an alternative to Google Jamboard and one of the most important features of that tool was the ability for people to participate anonymously.

Users not in my organisation cannot annotate on Whiteboards shared during a meeting. Weirdly, if I open the old version of the whiteboard through "Share Screen" other users can annotate, but this version of the whiteboard doesn't allow me to import images.

 

I think this might be a setting that's been turned off by the admin of my organisation. If so, is anyone able to let me know which setting needs changing so I can ask my admin to change it?

 

[I'm using Windows 10 with the latest version of Zoom.]

Disabling Whiteboard

With 5.10.3, Whiteboards are turned on for all users. Is there a way to disable them at the account (web) level? I know they can be turned off in a meeting by unchecking Whiteboards in Security.

Turning it off in In Meeting (Basic) -> Whiteboard (Classic) doesn't do it.

 

The problem is that anyone can start a Whiteboard, and it hijacks the meeting until someone figures out how to turn it off (uncheck in Security or Stop Participants Sharing in View Options). Since the ad for the feature shows up in every client that updates, someone is sure to do an "OOh, I wonder what this is."
