I'm on Zoom Version 6.3.11 (50104) on MacBook Air MacOS 15.3.2 (24D81)

I have been teaching online since lockdown and I use Classic whiteboard for notes.  I often switch to share a webpage or a pdf then come back to the whiteboard and continue the notes.  This works fine.  I share the notes with the student after the lesson.

Today, following the update, every time I switch back to Classic whiteboard all the notes are gone and I've got a blank whiteboard.  This is exceedingly disruptive as we normally carry on with the same calculations through the lesson and now all the work we've done is gone every time we come back after looking at a different screen, for example, the pdf of the problem we're working on.

I explain to the students that every once in a while Zoom releases an update that ruins everything, and it's happened again.

Please can someone direct me to the setting that makes the Classic whiteboard remain intact if you stop sharing it, share a different screen, then come back to it?

Thanks!

When I use the whiteboard to train japanese hiragana characters, I can't paint slow. When I stay on the left mouse button for too long, my painted character is transformed into a shape, e.g. a square or a circle. I already disabled all shapes and I am under the impression that the normal pencil shouldn't do autoforms, as there is a separate tool "intelligent drawing".

How/where do I disable this behaviour or is there a better tool to draw letters?

Hello Zoom Community,

We’re experiencing an issue with a Whiteboard that was previously owned by our company.

After removing and reassigning one of our users, no one on our team—including me as the account admin—can access this Whiteboard.

We still have the last shareable link, but it’s now inaccessible to everyone in the workspace.

If anyone @All  has insights or knows the steps to restore access, we’d greatly appreciate your help!

Additional Details for Troubleshooting

• The Whiteboard was originally created by a user who has since been removed from our Zoom account.
• After reassigning that user’s license to someone else, the Whiteboard no longer appears under “My Whiteboards” for any member of our team (including the admin).
• We tried accessing it via the last shareable link we have, but we receive an error or a “no permission” message.
• We’ve already checked Whiteboard settings, user permissions, and admin privileges, but haven’t found a solution.

Thank you in advance.

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?

Hi, 

I inserted a PowerPoint slide deck into Whiteboard so participants could see a presentation while also viewing our meeting notes. I'm able to advance the slides on my end, but the meeting participants don't see the slides advancing (it's stuck on the first slide). Participants can manually advance the slides, but as the presenter, I want to control that. Is there a way for the host to advance slides for all participants?

I have been using Zoom for many months with no problems. Today, (Sunday 30th June 2024) I logged in after a week and on my Macbook Air (MacOS Catalina, 10.15.7) the Whiteboard does not load at all and is stuck on the initial loading screen. It updated to Zoom workplace and I have the new interface so I suspect it has something to do with this?

I have tried restarting the Zoom client, my laptop and nothing works. This is a big problem for me as I teach using Zoom Whiteboard; I therefore need this to be resolved as soon as possible.

Hi!
I've been struggling figuring out how to get back to classic whiteboard settings in Web-version of Zoom? i have been able to reset it in desktop application but somehow it fails on Web-version 😞

Could you help me with this issue, please?
