I am using Zoom for teaching and recording the lectures. Some of the lectures include alot of numerical calculations, for which I am using a whiteboard. Previously, I was using Miro white board, and it worked excellent.

Now; I wanted to use Zoom whiteboard. Although the whiteboard writing in not lagging with the audio for other participants, this is not the case for the recording.

So, there is a 5-6 seconds lag between audio/video recording and whiteboard writing. I have tried different solutions (turning off camera, AI assistance, host only using the whiteboard,...), but nothing is working.

This is extremely disappointing as we are paying for the Zoom, and its whiteboard seems not to function properly, even for basic functions, while free whiteboards such as those from Miro are working flawlessly.

Can something be done regarding this issue?

 

Thank you!

Resolved! Fix the scroll wheel behavior in Zoom Whiteboard

Prior to this week, using the scroll wheel on my mouse or dragging up/down on trackpad would scroll around the canvass about Y axis, and holding Shift + scroll wheel would scroll along the X axis. Exactly as you'd expect on something like a browswer window. Now using the scroll wheel increases and decreases the magnfication. There is no combination of modifier keys that will let you scroll on the Y axis.

 

This is extremely not useful! Moving about the canvass used to be effortless, but now I have to swticth to the hand tool to drag myself about the canvass or manually drag the scroll bar on the side of the window. I don't understand why they would change such a critical feature. Is there any user control over this?

 

I'm on Version: 6.1.0 (35886) using a Mac and I uninstalled and reinstalled if that matters.

Whiteboard resizing when I use the toolbar

When teaching my math class, I always screenshare the classic whiteboard because it's bigger. When I click the toolbar to erase what I wrote, the whiteboard minimizes by about 30%. This just started today. If I want to change the ink color, nothing goes wrong. Touching my pen to anything I usually do on that toolbar minimizes the whiteboard every time.

 

I just uninstalled Zoom Workplace Pro yesterday in order to update it via reinstalling. That's because the update instructions use features I don't have. I repeated that process this morning to no avail.

 

My version is now 6.2.3 (47507) on a Dell Inspiron 3793 laptop (Windows 11).

 

Is anyone else having this issue?

When opening a whiteboard inside a meeting, I get the option of Collaborating Mode and Presenting Mode. This works great. However, I cannot find a way to switch between modes once the whiteboard is already open. Is this possible to do? Or is the only way to exit the whiteboard and open it again in Presenting mode or vice-versa?

I am using the Zoom Web Client in Chrome

Unable to share Whiteboard outside someone else's organization

I am a member of a company (which I will call "Company A") and months ago shared a whiteboard with several Zoom users outside my company, including someone in what I'll call "Company B." Now for some reason it appears that my ability to share new whiteboards is restricted to people within Company B

 

When I click Share, under General Access my options are "Restricted" and "Anyone at Company B." The option for "Anyone with the link" is greyed out because "your admin has disabled external link sharing." My admin at Company A has not disabled external link sharing and is also affected by this problem. It appears whatever Company B's restrictions are have transferred to our accounts as though we are employees at Company B. When I try to add new email addresses it says "Company B has disabled collaboration with users outside your organization." 

 

Again, this is happening on whiteboards that are completely new and have never even been shared with anyone at Company B. It's just me at Company A making a new whiteboard, and then it's says I can't share it with anyone not at Company B. 

 

Tried reinstalling Zoom to no avail.

Share whiteboards with external lists

Hi , I've been getting so many emails lately asking to edit whiteboards from strange Zoom accounts , I'm sure I haven't attended any of the meetings.
Does Zoom have a whiteboard sharing invitation feature for external users?

Hi,

 

I've been using Zoom for a while for teaching and often write things on the whiteboard with my stylus and tablet. I have a Wacom tablet and stylus. Until recently, everything has gone fine. However, for some reason, now when I write things using the stylus and tablet some of the strokes are recorded and some are not. Sometimes strokes will trigger a ripple around the cursor but the stroke won't be recorded. In other apps, I don't have this problem, only with Zoom. And as I said, this only became a problem recently. It has become so annoying that I have to screen share and use a whiteboard somewhere else. I did a search on Google but couldn't find how to fix it.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Thank you.
