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!

Hi. People in my meetings cannot collaborate/ edit on my whiteboards.

 

In the meeting settings, I have whiteboards enabled.

 

However, the default access level is stuck at 'invited users' and does not allow me to share with 'anyone'. This seems to mean participants can only be viewers.

 

It doesn't change whether I toggle the basic whiteboard setting (in Meeting settings) to 'whiteboard by default' or leave it with the classic whiteboard.

 

The ? note says that the admin has disabled 'anyone' but I am the the only user of this (paid) account.

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

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?
