Well this is my attempt at writing the letters of the alphabet.  Anytime you video share the pen will not register some strokes.  It's extremely annoying.  Writing on the whiteboard without sharing works fine, every other app works fine, for instance writing in gimp, but as soon as you share video, even the new whiteboard app begins to skip strokes.  My zoom installation at home works fine but my new zoom installation started doing this.

I would upload a video but i'm not allowed so here is a screen shot.

My zoom account was managed by a company I contract for.   When they were managing it they restricted whom I could share whiteboards with and it was restrictinng the other clients I work with.   Then I took over purchasing my own subscription with the same email address and login information.  However the previous whiteboard I had saved are now gone.

I have a whiteboard that I have copied an image into.

 

I'm trying to prep for a meeting by marking the image up with shapes and text boxes.

 

When I left the whiteboard and came back to it only the first 3 or 4 shapes that I put on the whiteboard came back. I've tested this several times and this continues to be the case.

 

I am a licensed user.

 

I am experiencing this both in the app and the web portal.

 

Is this a limitation based on license or is there a setting or something somewhere that I've missed?

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

 

I've shared the whiteboard at https://us02web.zoom.us/wb/doc/pz6SC5B0S7ixHvG4yPk7jA/p/35048642077708

Annotate and Whiteboard tools MISSING!

Just since using these tools last week in a Zoom meeting, they have completely disappeared.  I have checked my settings and everything is checked for annotating, but I don't see it anywhere.  Any suggestions?

Pen/stylus while annotating on any shared document or whiteboard

Wondering if anyone can help with this nagging problem when annotating or writing on a whiteboard in Zoom....!

Problem:  Annotating, writing or drawing with any stylus on any Whiteboard or on any shared document begins normally but after about 5 minutes the stylus begins to fail, or after about one-half page of writing or annotation.  Then the character images of my pen/stylus begin to flicker and skip on my touchscreen, until the pen is soon rendered unable to write at all. 

What I have tried: 
I have tried two different pens--same problems.
I have tried at least two different Whiteboard apps--Microsoft Whiteboard, and then changed to the native Zoom whiteboard. Same problem. (Although, the problem at first seemed to be solved by using the native Zoom whiteboard, but eventually the same pen flicker ad problem began again to occur with the native Zoom Whiteboard!)

I have tried to clear the cache and cookies in the browser.
I have tried two different computers--the problem appeared to be solved at first when I switched to second computer--pen works find for a time, but it was only temporary 😞  Eventually, the second computer reverts to the same pen flickering and skipping until unusable.
I re-installed pen drivers (two pens are MS Surface pen and a Bamboo pen).

I have checked my download/upload speeds, which are fast (210 Mbs download, 11 Mbs upload).


What is looks like the problem may be:  Not sure, but this problem feels like a "denial of service" type of issue, where the computer seems to reach some capacity limit on the amount of dynamic annotation/writing I am able to share over any app.  However, there is NO problem with sharing documents of any size, it is only when I am using stylus annotation or drawing when some sort of "max out" on the amount of writing I can do occurs...

The only tech change I can identify is that I upgraded to Windows 11 at the start of spring 2022 semester. However, I did pair the pens with each computer again.  This problem was never an issue for over 18 months of perfect Zoom classes using the pen/stylus on MS Whiteboard--never.  Now, stylus inoperable in every class.
Maybe some deeper system incompatibilities within Zoom are causing this?
