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

how to set white virtual background for a meeting

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

whiteboard asynchronous voting sessions

has anyone found a way to run a virtual asynchronous voting session on a whiteboard, allowing users to vote over a period of time rather than in a meeting?

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?

Does splitting whiteboard content over multiple pages help performance?

I've got some whiteboards that are large enough to really push the limits of what the software can handle.  Will it make a difference if I split the content up over multiple pages?

 

To illustrate what I'm asking, imagine the following two scenarios:

  1. Two large clusters of content are on the same page, but separated far enough that they cannot be viewed at the same time.  Or...
  2. Each of those two large clusters is put on its own page.

Should I expect different performance from those two scenarios?

 

Thanks!

Resolved! Whiteboard: Pen tool: How to use the color picker?

I can't get the color-picker tool to work on the whiteboard.  I can add custom colors using the palette provided under the Pen tools menu.  However, when I select the color-picker tool (also on the palette menu), I'm allowed to go through the motions of selecting a pixel on the screen, but no custom color is added to menu.  What am I missing?

Stickies are ruined! How can we fix them?

I don't know when the change happened, but on Zoom Whiteboards, Sticky Notes were always created with middle-center aligned auto-sized font. Now when I create stickies, they have top left aligned 16 point font. They're basically just textboxes with a... Show more

I don't know when the change happened, but on Zoom Whiteboards, Sticky Notes were always created with middle-center aligned auto-sized font. Now when I create stickies, they have top left aligned 16 point font. They're basically just textboxes with a background color now.

 

The whole point of stickes is that you and your team can read them at different magnifications. The new sticky behaviour makes Zoom Whiteboard undesirable for my staff so I can't get them to use it over other apps, since all other whiteboard apps have stickies that work like a normal human would expect.

 

Am I missing something? Is there a hidden default settings pallete or something? Why did Zoom do this?

Serious whiteboard users: what whiteboard do you use?

I'm trying to transition my tutoring business to Zoom, but have been stopped cold by the whiteboard.  Zoom's native whiteboard crashes when I load it up with multi-page PDFs, and their support have told me this is expected behavior.  Using either Miro or Mural as integrated apps could work, but the normal touchpad controls are disabled (zoom in/out, specifically), making them too inconvenient to use.  Zoom support has confirmed that this, too, is expected behavior.

 

It's all adding up to a deal-breaker for me.  Is anyone else having a similar experience?  And if so, how are you coping?

I expect that people who have access to a project in Whiteboards can work with all of the whiteboards inside the project. That does not seem to be the case. Why? What's the point of project permissions if additional work has to be done on all of the whiteboards to manage permissions that actually work?
