How to disable participant annotation on the whiteboard?

It is possible on the old classic whiteboard but not available on new whiteboard.

 

My fun-loving students scribble over my whiteboard.

Fun....but also disruptive ultimately.

Resolved! How many people can I share a whiteboard with (outside of meetings)?

When I share a whiteboard in a meeting, the number of participants for the whiteboard is the same as the maximum number of participants for the meeting, obviously.

 

However:

  1. When I share a whiteboard-link with 500 people and my meeting limit is 300. Would that be possible?
  2. Assuming I can share the whiteboard with an unlimited number of people, how many can edit at the same time (as maximum)? The same as my meeting limit?

Unable to share Whiteboard outside someone else's organization

I am a member of a company (which I will call "Company A") and months ago shared a whiteboard with several Zoom users outside my company, including someone in what I'll call "Company B." Now for some reason it appears that my ability to share new whiteboards is restricted to people within Company B

 

When I click Share, under General Access my options are "Restricted" and "Anyone at Company B." The option for "Anyone with the link" is greyed out because "your admin has disabled external link sharing." My admin at Company A has not disabled external link sharing and is also affected by this problem. It appears whatever Company B's restrictions are have transferred to our accounts as though we are employees at Company B. When I try to add new email addresses it says "Company B has disabled collaboration with users outside your organization." 

 

Again, this is happening on whiteboards that are completely new and have never even been shared with anyone at Company B. It's just me at Company A making a new whiteboard, and then it's says I can't share it with anyone not at Company B. 

 

Tried reinstalling Zoom to no avail.

Pen Latency on whiteboard while recording

I've never had this problem before and don't know if it's a Zoom update or maybe a driver update on my Wacom tablet. The pen writing on the Zoom whiteboard was always smooth and seamless and I could write as fast as I wanted. Now for some reason, at ... Show more

I've never had this problem before and don't know if it's a Zoom update or maybe a driver update on my Wacom tablet.  The pen writing on the Zoom whiteboard was always smooth and seamless and I could write as fast as I wanted.  Now for some reason, at least while recording the meeting, I have to write super slow or it just looks like scribbles!  A one-hour lecture turned into two!  Very frustrating.  It's strange, because I think when not recording it still works well, but I haven't quite been able to identify the problem.  Please help!

 

BTW, I do notice that Zoom is using a high amount of memory (6.67GB), but don't know how to stop that.

 

Version: 6.3.11 (60501)

 

Update:  I tried switching to the Classic Whiteboard, and that seems to have remedied the problem.  Still not sure why, and I'd prefer to use the newer whiteboard if I can get it to work!

I finally sorted out how to allow whiteboard collaboration by people outside my organization (yes, I am the admin for my paid zoom account). But now I'm finding it's important to document who is making changes and comments.

 

Is there a setting for forcing external collaborators to sign-in or otherwise validate who they are? Can this be done with more than just a zoom account? could they sign in to my whiteboard using their Google credentials, for example?

 

Help!

The zoom whiteboard feature freezes while drawing repeatedly every minute or so. This occurs on two separate devices and happens due to the Zoom whiteboards feature freezing. I am on Zoom version 6.4.1. I am an educator who teaches remotely so I would appreciate a solution. 

it can be unfrozen by minimizing the app but this workaround is not feasible to do constantly.

Hi everyone,

I used to frequently add Unsplash images directly into my Zoom Whiteboards, but recently I noticed that the feature seems to be missing. I can no longer search for or insert images from Unsplash like I used to. Has this feature been removed or temporarily disabled?

If so, does anyone know why, and whether it's planned to return in a future update? It was a super helpful tool for creating visually engaging boards, especially when collaborating with teams or during online classes.

Any info or official updates would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Hannes

Feature Request: Adjustable Border & Line Widths

One small but powerful improvement would be the ability to adjust the width of borders and lines (for shapes, connectors, and drawn lines).
