A new problem has come up just in the last couple of days that I have had no problems with previously. While using Zoom to tutor, I use both my MacBook and iPad. The iPad is for writing on the Zoom whiteboard. For some reason, when I write on the whiteboard on my iPad, I can see what I am writing until I lift my Apple Pencil at which point what I wrote disappears on my iPad but is visible on my MacBook and for everyone else in the meeting (including my student). As you can imagine, it is quite difficult to write on the whiteboard with my iPad when I cannot see what I have already written. Has anyone experienced this? How can I fix this?

 

I have tried deleting and reinstalling the Zoom app on my iPad, following and unfollowing the creator of the whiteboard, and creating the whiteboard on both my MacBook and on my iPad. None of these have helped.

I'm using 5.17.5 on my iPad Pro OS 17.2 (21C62)

 

I see on the release notes (https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0073923) that "Users have the option to switch back to the classic Whiteboard via their meeting settings. Under In Meeting (Basic) settings, users can click the Use Whiteboard by default if available toggle to seamlessly revert back to the classic Whiteboard in their next meeting."

 

I'm not seeing this anywhere. Suggestions?

I have a Powerpoint that I present in meetings. I've created a whiteboard as an interactive part of the presentation. Can I insert the whiteboard into the Powerpoint and have it remain interactive and functional? As it is not, I have to stop sharing the Powerpoint, share the whiteboard, stop sharing the whiteboard and start sharing the Powerpoint--at which point it goes back to the beginning. It's really a clunky process while you're live. I see that there is an iframe code for the whiteboard but I can't see how to insert the code on a Powerpoint slide. Any suggestions?

I started working with whiteboards today. I created two whiteboards and would like to create a third, however the system says I already have reached my 3-whiteboard limit. I only see two whiteboards on the "All Whiteboards" list, and I checked the trash but there's nothing there.  I would attach a screenshot here, but apparently I don't have permission to upload images. Any suggestions for how I can resolve this issue?

I would like to know how I can disable iframe, url pasting and 3rd party integrations/embedding in Zoom whiteboard. This zoom app will used by young children, the relevance of question. The students can access an otherwise blacklisted website like youtube by pasting a url on the whiteboard.

Although, iframes/Pexel has been turned off from Zoom's Advanced Setting page, these options are clearly available on the (Windows) App/software. The web version of zoom seemed to have responded by making those buttons non responsive.

Any help is much appreciated

I need to make a zoom recording of myself speaking with a white background.  The support chatbot seems to think that I can go to the "none" option, and set the background as white. But when I set the virtual background to "none," I just see the room I am in.   Nothing like a option for white or any other color shows up on my desktop app.  

 

Thanks for  any help you can give!   BLShep

Help! I'm just looking to copy a style from a shape to apply it to another in my whiteboard. Like any copy Formatting from Word, PPT, etc... 

I have a huge whiteboard with several dozens of shapes already and I just need to change formatting for consistency. Seems it should be simple. Only option from the chatbot was to copy and past another shape... which means also copy pasting all the text in them as well. 

 

Anyone have a quick solution?
