I feel appreciation to the convenience of using this service and consistent update.

 

The newly introduced whiteboard is also useful, but I have one complaint.
It is a little less convenient than the previous one when using an iPad and Pen. I miss the ability to eliminate writing with my finger.

 

Am I missing that feature?

I have been an online mathematics educator for 20 years in K-12.  We switched to zoom in 2020. 

Right now I app share Smart Notebook as my teaching whiteboard.   I use the new Zoom whiteboard rarely.  

 

I have two wishes.

1.   I wish we could save a whiteboard(or group of wbds) as a pdf/png. A  pdf is preferred. 

2.  I wish I could import a pdf/ppt/googleslide into a whiteboard and use as my lesson shell.

unreadable text with using whiteboard mostly when there is only written text - problems

Hi everyone,

I'm new in Zoom Meetings (conference participants in university)

 

Unfortunately, using the whiteboard doesn't work for me at all in the moment.

If only text is written, the text starts to be displayed overlapping as you write -> the picture explains it.

 

Even when scrolling or moving, shadows of the written text remain and are therefore unreadable.

 

Tried new installation, update of all drivers including graphics card and BIOS, AMD adrenaline tool (device is a Lenovo E15 Gen 3 with AMD Rzyzen 5 5500U- WIN 11 pro 64 bit ) Zoom version is 5.12.8.

 

I would be very happy if someone could give me a tip!

 

Thanks greetings Stan

Automatically saved whiteboards are overwritten when returning from Breakout Rooms

I'm a teacher and use Zoom for classes a lot.
I have enabled automatic saving of whiteboards, so that I have all of them at the end of the session and can send them to my students. Recently Zoom started replacing saved whiteboards with later versions so that the original files are lost.

For example I will have a whiteboard at the start which will be automatically saved as [1] whiteboard - 1, then I send out my students to Breakoutrooms, join each room to help them and return.
Once I return and use the whiteboard again, this whiteboard will now be automatically saved in the same folder also as [1] whiteboard - 1,  therefore replacing the original whiteboard.
It has happened several times now, that go to the folder at the end of our lesson and discover that I lost half of my whiteboards.
Previously it used to save whiteboards after my return from the breakout rooms in a different folder to avoid this issue.

Is there something I can change in the settings?

Hi!
So I updated Zoom and a few things changed.
I teach online, so I often use the whiteboard to write/explain things or correct my students' grammar.
I've noticed that when I'm typing a text, my students don't see what I'm typing until I'm done.
If I want to correct part of the grammar I have to select the text (and the whole text disappears for my students when I select it), then I correct the grammar (which my students cannot see) and when I'm done and deselect the text, only then will it come back on the screen for my students to see, but then I have to explain where I changed the grammar because they couldn't see my corrections...
It's definitely not working for me 😞

I hope Zoom can fix this so my students can instantly see what I'm typing OR see the words I'm selecting as I type. Because that function is also gone 😞

So yesterday i create a post about my students cannot see what im typing,
Today i started my class and the whiteboard didnt work at all.
I had some whiteboards open, which i deleted all to trash. When i opened a new whiteboard page, it gave me the last whiteboard (that i trew away.) But when i doubleclick on the whiteboard its blank. When i start writing there and select the text to move it, it multiplies the text over and over..... i canceld my class because im not able to work like this... Does anyone have another solution? A whiteboard that i can use in combination with zoom or maybe a whole new working environment? Teams? Skype? Never worked with that programs but im open for sugestions!

Thanx!

language

Since the last update, my whiteboard menu (and only my whiteboard menu) appears in an undefined language I can not understand. How can I change the language of the whiteboard menu?

I am using Zoom to teach small groups and want to know if I can screen share, use a stylus on some type of external pad to add notations to the screen share. I do not have a touch screen laptop, thus the stylus will not work on the screen. Any suggestions? I will need to purchase the stylus and any recommended hardware that will enable me to write notes that will appear on the screen share.
