All of my older whiteboards are missing from my whiteboard library.  Only 2024 boards are showing up.  I did not delete them.  They were not created within a meeting.  

 

I've had trouble for a while when I get to the whiteboard library but always manage to click around enough they finally show up.  

 

Any ideas?

I've been trying to add an external user to my out-of-meeting whiteboard (a student). However, every time I try to give access I get a message about a server error. I've tried changing settings in all possible ways but nothing helped. Has anyone faced this problem recently? Should I somehow add them to my contacts/'organisation'?

zoom whiteboard font size

I was able to change my zoom whiteboard back to the original. I no longer see the option to change the font size. When I click on the font button it does not give the option to change the font size. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Starting yesterday (November 28th), users who join my meetings can no longer write or draw on the whiteboard, although the Whiteboard is set to  "Cooperation", not "Presentation". 

 

Several of my students have reported the same problems, regardless of their operating system or device. The icon bar to the left does not show anymore.

New Zoom Whiteboard - participants can't add to it

I love the look of the new Zoom Whiteboard, and I was so excited to try it with colleagues. 

I created a whiteboard on my zoom account and then shared it by clicking on the bottom task bar in a meeting. 

The participants could see my whiteboard and I could add to it, but they couldn't. 

I've enabled the in-meeting whiteboard on my online zoom admin account:

I then tried to share directly to participants emails, but it said that I couldn't share as it was disabled by my administrator: this is someone from within my organisation. 

 

Any ideas please?

Saludos. I am conducting English classes via a simple Zoom room. I see the new Whiteboard, which looks fantastic. I am unsure of how to share with the Zoom meeting.  I need simple clear instructions. I have investigated the available tutorials but remain in the dark.  When I am in a meeting, I can click Share then whiteboard, but I only see the old-style whiteboards. Any clarification you can offer me will be appreciated. Thank you.

Suddenly Zoom forced me to use Whiteboard versus my trusted Screen Share page. 

 

Whiteboard is clunky. It required me to pre-choose the Font size before I can randomly write my thoughts, thus ruining spontaneity. My students have no interest in adding their changes to the board, either. Also, Whiteboard wraps text, causing the first letter to capitalize whether it's in the middle of a sentence or not.

 

WHY was Whiteboard added when Screen Share worked perfectly fine? Please, HOW can  I get use of Screen Share again? 

 

Yet again, Zoom failed to advise subscribers of another forced change. We are required to adapt, like it or not.
