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 (Clas... Show more

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."

Hi Forum,

 

I wanted to connect my Google Drive with Whiteboard. During the login and verification process, there was a permission checkbox at the very end, which I did not notice, and I clicked agree. So, my Google Drive connected with Zoom, but I could not access the files. So, I want to disconnect Google Drive from Whiteboard, but there is no option to do that. I have tried Chatbot and different threads. There is nothing on how to disconnect a Google Drive from Zoom Whiteboard. Please help me with this. Many thanks in advance.

Aspect Ratio of of Stickies on Whiteboard

Is there any way to change the aspect ratio of Stickies on the Zoom Whiteboard? I'm only finding two options: they default to square; If I drag the side of the sticky note, I can make it slightly wider than square. I'm trying to make a tall, harrow sticky, but all attempts to change the aspect ratio with the corner and edge handles wind up making a larger or smaller sticky note, but they remain square.

 

I'm using Zoom Workplace Version: 6.0.2 (33403), on MacOS.

 

Thanks!

I'm trying to download a PDF or PNG of the whiteboard but those options don't retain the color of the text or any highlighting on the whiteboard. Is there a way to download and maintain the different colors of texts or highlights? The only color it retains is the color of lines.
