Have been playing around with brand new Zoom whiteboard feature. Overall it looks great but I encountered some issues so far I'm hoping other users or Zoom staff can help troubleshoot: 

 

1) I found that I could work on a new whiteboard in a meeting as a host that was visible to my participants but participants were unable to contribute to/ collaborate in the whiteboard even though I selected the option to all participants to be able to edit. Anyone else having this issue?  

2) Another user, (one of the participants in my meeting) had pre-built a whiteboard in their zoom account outside a meeting and shared it with the zoom account I was using. It did show up in the whiteboard dashboard of my zoom account but when I went to open whiteboard in that meeting the whiteboard that had been shared with me didn't show up. 

3) I noticed the toolbar in the whiteboard when in in-meeting mode is pretty limited compared to the toolbar when using whiteboard outside of a meeting. For example, the "grab" tool to move around the whiteboard without selecting items is missing which is of course very limiting. 

4) Is there a way for participants to have the option of contributing/ collaborating on the Whiteboard anonymously? (Without attribution to their user-name). 

5) Are there planned updates for keyboard accessible alternatives for navigating the whiteboard? 

 

Thanks! Would appreciate any insight on these issues

I have searched and can't find a way to enable external participants to collaborate on a whiteboard template. The box that enables this is not active (light grey - can't click on it to share). I keep getting the message that my organization (I'm the owner and sole administrator) does not allow external participation. Any idea of how I can fix this? Thanks

Hi,

 

I have a new account that I have set up.  I believe it is a private account with paid Zoom One Pro Annual license, with the paid unlimited whiteboards add on as well.

I am the account owner and only member.  When I try to share a white board with one of my clients after a meeting is done, I get the error "sharing with users from this organization is disabled by your admin"

srogo_1-1657121848662.png

Well I should be the Admin of my account, right?  But I can't find any settings to do with this anywhere and I am frustrated.  Does anyone have advice on how to enable myself to share my whiteboards with whomever I please?

Thanks.

Zoom whiteboard

Hello,

 

I was wondering how the zoom whiteboard works. We want to be able to post questions in there and have people answer them. Is there a way to make it anonymous so no one can tell what another person posted or commented?

Whiteboard

Hi

I can't figure out how to disable participant from messing with my board. I wish that only host can draw or write on board. Disabling comments didn't help - users can still mess around with things written.

Awful change.

I'm having trouble with the "new" whiteboard.

1) How do I open a blank/empty whiteboard WITHOUT a template?

2) In the new whiteboard, how do I erase all? I found the eraser but it does not erase everything. I want to be able to completely clear the whiteboard of all previous drawings, lines, etc.

Please help. Thank you.
