Whiteboard blocked for editing for host

For some reason, some of my boards became view-only for everyone (even me) after I shared the link with other people (they had view-only access). Is it a bug? How can I fix this

Zoom Taskbar (Toolbar)

This is on iPad 2020, using the Zoom app.

 

After a year of getting used to having the taskbar (mute, video, end meeting, etc) on the side, the update today (24 April 2024) suddenly changed the taskbar to the bottom of the screen.

I cannot find a way to change its orientation again - anyone have any ideas?

I don't understand why users can't have a way to orient the taskbar as they wish?

I had my first Workplace meeting today with Whiteboard.  

Oftentimes on long meetings I am also multitasking in the background.

Is my cursor being recorded and projected on the screen to everyone:

1) while the Whiteboard tab is up in my browser?

2) while I am working in another tab?

3) while I am working in another app like Outlook or Word?

 

I need to know so that I am not distracting everyone in the meeting.  Even better would be the ability to turn the tracking functionality off so that I don't need to worry about it.  I have never used my cursor in online meetings.

 

Thanks!

New update - students cannot annotate on whiteboard

They RECENTLY made a change and now my classes are interrupted and can't get immediate help.

 

This is so unfair.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this?  Support won't help me even though they made the change.

Hi guys, 

I am new at using Whiteboard at Zoom. Created needed template for me and can't zoom-in or zoom-out it without clicking a button in a graphic interface. Would love to zoom-in and zoom-out just by using Mac's touchpad but doesn't work. At Miro it works with the same laptop. What can I do about that? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I am in Zoom > Account Management > Account Settings > (Whiteboard Tab) > scrolled down to the section called "Whiteboard Sharing Defaults"

 

On that page I believe I've turned on every setting to allow maximum access from the world 😆 but I still don't seem to be able to change the "access level" setting below to "Editor"... because what's the point of a collaborative whiteboard if others cannot collaborate on it? 😄

 

By the way I've already set the "Default Access Level" to "Anyone" but the setting right below that (pictured here) still is grayed out / cannot be clicked on...

Text Only Displays *after* deselecting the box

I'm a Lecture Capture Coordinator at a state university and I've gotten complaints that the latest version of Whiteboard does not display the text in a meeting recording until after the text box is deselected. I tried it myself in my updated version of Zoom 6.0.0 (37205) and confirmed the same issue in my own recording. This is an issue for instructors who spend an extended amount of time in a text box during a remote meeting lecture and don't deselect a box because they still want to update and type in it. I also find this setup to be unintuitive, I would prefer it if displayed the text being typed out. Students watching a recording will be scratching their heads wondering what is being typed when there is nothing being displayed.

Can Zoom revise this issue?

Cant lock my whiteboard

I'm not able to lock my whiteboard while presenting. I dont want my participants to access and be able to edit the board. 

And error "failed with code 403" is popping up when I'm trying to lock the board. Why is this happening?

Can I disable saving of my whiteboards for everyone except myself?

I'm using a PC with Windows 11 and the latest version of Zoom and a Zoom Workplace Pro account.  I also pay extra for Zoom whiteboard.

 

I want to be able to save my own whiteboards without allowing the children I teach to save them individually on their own devices or access them in the cloud.   Is this possible and, if so, how do I do this, please?
