I use Zoom to connect with long distant grandchildren.  We also like to play games using the game room concept of several sites such as,  https://buddyboardgames.com/ and https://playingcards.io/ .  We play these games in a separate window while in our Zoom session.  I believe the structure is similar to Kooht, which Zoom has recently added as an extension but I have not personally tried it. 

 

I use the whiteboard to do joint drawing with one my grandsons.  We can also play games like  Tic Tac Toe and hangman.  Incorporating some of the game rooms we currently use in separate windows into Zoom would make it even better.  While Zoom is focused on supporting organizations, it is also great for staying connected with grandkids and other long distant friends and  family members.

Hello,

I am having problems with allowing others to edit/access/annotate my whiteboard even it appears I have allowed all participants.  I keep getting a message that says "admin has restricted access to anyone not in my organization" but I am admin and I can find nowhere to even find this setting or change it.  I've checked every section I can find but clearly. haven't solved the problem.  Since I am the sole person on my account, it restricts everyone!

Help!

Hello

I have a pbolem with using a touchscreen monitor.

 

I have a locked pdf in my whiteboard.

 

If I zoom in with my fingers (the pdf is under my fingers), as soon as i let it go, the pdf becomes "unlocked"  - I can move it and change the size.

When I tap outside of it, it locks again.

Of course it shows that it is locked the whole time.

Very frustrating

Thanks for any help

Long story short, sharing interactive whiteboards with 'external' users has been disabled on my account. This is causing major issues today, as I teach remotely and needed to add students email addresses so that they could collaborate on the board. It's been impossible. The message I receive when I've tried to share the Whiteboard reads 'A server error occurred. Try again later or if error persists, Contact us for help.' When I investigated this further, the account settings state that the admin has locked / disabled collaboration with external users and when I check up on the roles on my account, I am listed as an owner, with no admin having been added. Technically it seems that as the owner I should have admin permissions, but these are greyed out when I go into settings, meaning I am powerless over changing any sharing permissions.

 

I'm at a loss at what to do. Please do advise me if you can!!

Hi,

 

I've used templates in Whiteboards before and had no trouble.

 

Now, however, when I click on a template from the template list, it will show for a second or two, and then the template feature will disappear. If I click on the template icon in the toolbar, the icon turns blue but nothing happens. I have to log off and log back in, but the same thing happens.

 

I've just downloaded an update and tried again in a new window. But nothing changes.

 

I'm using Mozilla Firefox, and cleared my zoom.us cache.

 

Thanks for your help on this!

Divide organization whiteboard templates into folders

Hi,

 

We are using zoom whiteboard plus and sharing organization templates.

 

For our convenience, is it possible to divide organization templates into separate groups (folders)?

 

Thanks

Has anyone had issues with recordings since the zoom update? The new whiteboard features are so nice but I just had a student tell me that on the cloud recording, it just shows a black screen when I am using a whiteboard. It seems to work fine live, but I confirmed that just a black screen is shown on the recording. I haven't updated or changed any settings.

I have used the zoom whiteboard on my iPad extensively for the last year or so since it was released, however something weird has started happening across the last week.

 

if I draw using my Apple Pencil then it sometimes interprets my writing/drawing as a double tap, and it the automatically resizes the whiteboard eg from 100% to 125%. 

I cannot find any way of disabling this double tap irritation.

 

it also does the same if I access the zoom whiteboard via the zoom website rather than through the zoom app.

 

if I use the old zoom whiteboard the problem does not happen BUT it is not as smooth an experience.  I really like the zoom whiteboard, but the double tapping resizing issue make whiteboard use in online lessons unusable.

 

please help!!
