How do I edit a whiteboard that I have already saved.

I have saved many whiteboards but they are automatically saved as View only. 

 

When I open them back up again, I want to edit them but unable to do so. 

 

Is there anyway I can change the settings to allow me to do so?

Resolved! Selecting multiple locked objects to unlock them all [possible feature request]

Hi,

I have a Whiteboard which contains multiple locked objects. I want to be able to select several of them in one go and unlock them in one go. How do I do that?

 

As far as I can tell:

You can only select one locked object at a time and unlock it. Painful.

You cannot select multiple locked objects even by selecting them individually. Frustrating.

You cannot select multiple locked objects even by dragging around them. Frustrating.

Whiteboard and sound

Zoom needs to allow whiteboard sharing and computer sound to be shared at the same time.  Currently it is restricted and you can only do one or the other, but I want to be able to use the sound and the whiteboard at the same time.

I have had my discussion apparently "solved" which is why I am starting a new one, it wasn't solved at all

 

I know how to share a URL link to external users in a zoom meeting, however to use it (in their breakout rooms) they are still being asked to login to their zoom account. ~see attached image.

 

I deliver training on Zoom to healthcare professionals who often use a work computer and can not login to zoom and have to do everything through their browser. 

 

HOW can a non zoom account holder in a meeting edit the whiteboard with the link????

 

thanks

students editing whiteboards outside of the zoom session

I'm having trouble setting up the whiteboard such that my 11 yr old students can access and edit the whiteboard outside of our Zoom class time.  

 

I have selected anything in settings that looks like it would allow me to do this.  But, in the whiteboard sharing default section of the settings, it won't let me select "anyone" can access.  It says "your admin has disables this setting" but I am the admin and I don't see another place where I can enable it.

 

I have tried sharing the link to the whiteboard in my Google Classroom.

 

Does the student need to have a Zoom account in order to access the whiteboard outside of class?  Do they need to use the same email address to sign into their Zoom account that they use when they click into our Zoom class?

 

 

Thanks so much!

I have multiple whiteboards that I've created. There are now a number of them that say View Only and I cannot make any edits to them, even though I created them. I have searched and cannot find any way to fix this. I need to be able to access and edit these whiteboards. I use them with clients. I have some that still allow me to edit. I don't know why some do and some don't. Thank you.

Can I buy the whiteboard plan for $2.49 a month while I am on the basic free tier plan so that I can only use the whiteboard feature and create more than 3 boards?

 

While I was trying to buy, it was asking me for number of licenses. What does number of licenses mean?

 

My expectation is that if I buy a license, then I should be able to free create how many ever boards I want, share them with other individuals and they should be able to edit those boards. Is that possible under the $2.49 whiteboard plan?

I use a Lenovo Ideapad computer, have the latest version of Zoom, and use the whiteboard for educational purposes. Every time I insert a video into the whiteboard, it doesn't allow playback; I have to stop sharing the whiteboard, go to YouTube, show the video, and then go back to sharing the whiteboard. Why does this happen?
