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 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?

Project Permissions don't apply to Whiteboards, why?

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 ... Show more

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?

New Limit to WhaiteBoard sessions?

Today, I received a notice that I reached my three whiteboard session limit. I have a Pro account, and I have never seen this before. Has Zoom recently changed its pricing structure to limit whiteboard usage?

I am using the following API to get the list of whiteboards

https://api.zoom.us/v2/whiteboards

 

It was returning only the latest Whiteboard and not everything. When I went to the web portal to check, I found something strange. the All Whiteboards tab shows only the latest whiteboard and the Recent Whiteboards tab has all the other whiteboards. I have created 5-6 different meetings and opened a whiteboard session in all meetings. In the All Whiteboards tab I see only the latest (Meeting 6) whiteboard and in the Recent WhiteBoards tab I see the remaining whiteboards for Meetings 1-5. 

 

There is no way I can query the recent whiteboards in the API. Can someone please help me to identify what am I doing wrong ?

I am using Zoom to tutor and we are writing collaboratively. Sometimes when neither of us has hit a delete key some of the text disappears. Today apparently the student hit the home button by mistake and three paragraphs we had written together was gone. Is there a setting I can use to keep the work there as I want to share it with the parents after class?

I teach  via Zoom and I use the Zoom Whiteboard every day.
I really like it, but there a some features I would like so see.
- a better shape recognition, like other apps eg. goodnotes, noeful... have. 

- a lasso tool, not only a rectangle

- better pdf import

- dark toolbar when in darkmode

- better writing experience on ipads and with graphics tablets ( pen often gets stuck)

Oh, I almost missed one of the most important points!

- Ability to set e default font and font size

It is really annoying to have to change the font every time I use a new Textbox

I can't use AI on the Zoom whiteboard I created before becoming a premium user. It says upgrade your plan. I upgraded my plan today 🙂 I can use AI on documents but I still can't use it on whiteboards. It still says upgrade your plan for whiteboards. And it doesn't use AI on the new ones I create either. Locked!
