I created a whiteboard a few months ago that I have been using weekly in my meeting. Until today, participants have been able to see what I am typing in realtime and see when my cursor highlights words or sentences. Today however, they could only see the new information after I stopped typing and the whiteboard finished saving. 

I have checked that everyone has collaborator status, and the only thing that I have done differently was that I had shared the whiteboard with them and set them as editors. 

I tried changing their collaborator status, unsharing the whiteboard, closing the whiteboard and re-opening it. Nothing works.

When trying to create a new whiteboard I always get the message that I have reached the limit of editable whiteboards.

A check for existing whiteboards shows that there are no whiteboards in my account.

The message even shows the name of a whiteboard dated in 2023, which I can’t find.

 

All existing whiteboards should be deleted so that I can start from scratch with 3 new editable whiteboards.

I need the functionality and should be able to use it with my basic account.

Zoom Whiteboard becomes View-Only after several days of creating

If I create a new whiteboard during a meeting, we can both use it without a problem for that meeting. The next day the whiteboard still shows normal status with no View-Only tag.

A week later, when we meet again, the whiteboard has a View-Only tag added to it automatically without me even logging into zoom or doing anything in between that time. This happens every week when I meet with my teacher.

 

It can not be removed, you can not choose Collaborating when opening the board because it thinks I am not the owner of my own board.

 

You can not touch (iPad) or click (PC) on the View-Only displayed at the top to change it in any way.

 

You must copy the board and create a new one, which will again become View-Only automatically after a week's time before the next meeting.

 

How in the world do you remove this tag or prevent it from ever being applied to your board in the first place and how do you allow yourself to choose Collaborating.

 

Also how do you mute the volume on the iPad so you don't hear yourself talking when using a tablet as a whiteboard during a meeting. The tablet is just for drawing on the whiteboard, it shouldn't be trying to host the entire meeting as the PC is doing this job.

I went to open my WhiteBoard that I have been using for the last 6 month to organize research and now all of the sudden it won't open. I received the error message: "There is an error loading recent version of the page. Use version history to recover previous version of the page." But I have looked everywhere and I can't find a version history link or button that will do this. I have also submitted a help ticket and I have gotten zero response. Can someone please help me recover 6 months of my work??

Здравствуйте! При работе использую доски, встроенные в Zoom. При истечении некоторого времени она становится доступна только для просмотра. Это происходит из-за того, что я редко в нее захожу? Или как бы часто я в нее не заходил, без подписки она всегда будет переходить в этот режим? Заранее спасибо)

Problem Retrieving Whiteboard After Removing & Reassigning a User

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.

Spellcheck underlines words in red :(

Good morning!

 

I use Zoom in Polish and I want to continue doing so. I use Windows 11 in Polish and I want to continue doing so. I temporarily changed language to English, in order to take a screenshot of my keyboard settings.

 

My problem is that Zoom has some sort of problem with words. I searched this issue online and found that it's usually a problem with Windows, not Zoom, but where exactly is the problem? In settings, yes but where exactly? I don't understand exactly what needs to be changed, so that Zoom and Windows understand that I don't want any word to be underlined in any language, no matter how correct or incorrect it may be in any language.

 

See 3 screenshots. Please could someone advise?

 

Thanks in advance!
Inspector Green

 

PS: Windows 11, Zoom version 6.3.6 56144

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?
