Hi - i teach by logging into my zoom with my computer, and then also logging with with my ipad, giving my ipad co-host privlidges, and then using my ipad as a whiteboard (using my pen on it). Now that there is the new whiteboard, I am unable to write as I used to. When I open a whiteboard on my computer, I see a panel with options about how to write on the whiteboard, but when I open a whiteboard using the ipad, I see no such panel. What am I missing? Or is this a bug?

 

Thanks.

Hello

I frequently run training sessions online which at times involves the use of breakout rooms . I would like to be able to have a whiteboard facility in each breakout room that delegates can work on , without others seeing and then to be able to bring that whiteboard back into the main room for those involved to present to the rest of the group.

 

Is this possible, what product do I  need (I have a Zoom One account) .

 

This topic was raised by Starchild in the past but there were no responses.

 

Can someone help?

 

Thanks

Issues with updated Zoom using Whiteboard and Apple Pencil

Recently Zoom was updated creating several issues for me. I have confirmed that this is not just an issue for me. All updates have been made on my end, but to no avail. Here is what is happening ... When I use the whiteboard with an Apple Pencil, I am unable to change the color simply by clicking on the color options. If I don't use my Apple Pencil, then the color change works properly. However, as soon as I use the Apple Pencil, the color pad only works fir I first click on the "T" and then back to the pencil and then to the color pad. In addition, the eraser on the whiteboard sometimes erases parts of the board that the eraser isn't even near. These issues did not occur in the past. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Zoom Card Title Font Size - Whiteboard

My Feedback option is enabled on my account, but I don't have the option to provide feedback.

 

I like the idea of Zoom Cards on Whiteboards, but the title font is too small and can't be adjusted. Will this be a future enhancement?

I use the whiteboard for online teaching. The countdown timer is a great addition and I use it all the time. But I really miss being able to add dice and die rolling to the mix. A good old 6-sided die would be great. Even better if you can combine using several at once. Am I the only one?

My business runs on the ability for two or more participants to write on the white board at the same time. Since the update, all I get is a dysfunctional white board that I can't share with anyone. The the Bot is very dumb and can't help with any questions. In the not so distant past, I could use the share screen and click on the board, but now.. I get a one way board that won't erase or allow for any writing. I run the business exclusively on iPads and a MacBook Pro. They have worked well in the past. How do I make tis work?

Hello,

 

We are facing a difficulty with the Whiteboard application. We created a whiteboard into our account with differents elements that we'd like to share with the participants to our meeting, while they are spread OUT into the different break out rooms.  The objective is for them to have access and be able to edit the whiteboard from the different break out rooms.

But it seems that they can only create a new whiteboard within the break out room, the cannot use the one already created by our organisation. The participants are not part of our organisation and we cannot share our account with them.

We would like to know if this is possible to share and edit a prepared whiteboard from the break out rooms ? and if so, which instructions should we follow ?

 

Thank you so much in advance,

Hi,  I am new to this.  I have a chromebook and I try to run zoom on it.  I installed the app and have tried running meeting from both the browser and the app.  In both cases I have encountered one common issue that I really need help with.

 

When I start my meeting (being a host), I can create a new whiteboard and I can use the pen tools on the left to change pen type, color, etc which is great.  However, I found that the participants cannot write on the whiteboard. I have tried to use a window based PC to start the meeting and I think can give remote access right for the participants and they will be able to write on the whiteboard to interact with me.  How can I do this on a chromebook?

 

Also, a second problem is that when I close the first whiteboard, and when I create a second whiteboard, I (the host) no longer see the "pen tools" on the left and I can only move the whiteboard, and not able to write on it even as a host.  How come?  I have to leave the meeting and then re-join in order to see the pen tools re-appear on the left.  What am I missing?  Again, this is never a problem when using the window based zoom.

For the last few weeks, nobody else in my Zoom meetings has been able to edit the whiteboards that I share. The toolbar doesn't show up for them, so they can view the whiteboard, but they can't make marks or changes on it. I see this setting in my Zoom account for "access level" is grayed out for some reason and can't be changed to allow everyone to  be an editor. How do I fix this?
