Can you use Whiteboard with a tablet while broadcasting via PC?

I would like to use my tablet for the Whiteboard instead of trying to draw with the mouse. Sorta like talking in a meeting room and drawing on an actual whiteboard.

I have started a whiteboard and have three participants but only one of them is set as an editor along with me as the host. The others can not edit.  I have searched all over for an answer. All instructions say that it is either all or none.

So during a shared whiteboard how do I make sure that all the participants can edit? How do I add them as editors?

What can a Chromebook do?

I can start a whiteboard, but cannot see any controls. I know Chromebooks are not the best with Zoom, but any ways round that or other hacks would be really good to know.

Hi,

 

I'm using my tablet to draw on the whiteboard when teaching maths through zoom (on a secondary account that I invite to the meeting). My problem is that I can't move the view of the whiteboard on the tablet. On the laptop, when viewing the whiteboard, I can scroll sideways to continue writing downwards, but on the tablet, no combination of stylus and/or fingertips accomplishes that; it just takes that as drawing input (or whatever tool I happen to have selected). Does anyone know a way to scroll on the whiteboard on a tablet? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Whiteboard editing options during meeting

I do tutoring and frequently need to add a picture of the problem we are working on to the whiteboard during the meeting. Right now, I have to have two instances of the whiteboard open. Please add all of the whiteboard tools during the live meeting (or at least have it as an option).

 

Also, currently the eraser will erase the pictures, so when we are handwriting the work for the math problem and make a mistake, we often accidentally erase the picture. Other whiteboards have the user select the picture and delete it with the delete or backspace key, which fixes this problem. This is especially a problem when you can't add pictures to the whiteboard during the meeting and the undo key also puts it back on top of everything written down.

 

Also, as mentioned on previous posts, please turn off the double click making the whiteboard full screen. It is quite disruptive.

 

There also needs to be an option to force users to the same whiteboard view, so if people get lost, we can bring them back.

I've now set up three whiteboards with my own pre-prepared content for use within an upcoming workshop within the web-browser but when I go into a zoom meeting to trial them, all the formatting has disappeared leaving the items floating around the space and the table that was formerly there has disappeared.  It's time consuming to redo the formatting that I already did.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or any fixes?

Hi!

Whiteboards do not support characters in Polish language- they appear when copied to whiteboard from another location, but I cannot directly put them usuing usual shortcuts.

Anyone manage to change language of input / change font style to one that is compatible not only with standard alphabet characters?
