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?

I usually use my Mac Mini to run my Zoom meetings but I have a real need to be able to draw on the whiteboard.  Using a mouse to do this is like trying to type with mittens and I have an apple pencil for my iPad.  My requirements would be to use both the mini and the iPad and I would like the process to be as painless as possible. In a perfect world, I would log into Zoom on my Mac mini and the iPad would be magically connected.  I suspect lots of people are doing this so I thought I would ask. Thanks

Does anyone know if it is possible to share audio while using the Zoom whiteboard template feature? Usually I just share audio when I want background music, but when using the whiteboard there isn't a way to utilize the share screen/audio without closing the whiteboard. I've noticed that while collaborating (i.e., everyone brainstorm your ideas during the next 5 minutes) I utilize the timer feature which is great, but the quiet is obvious and distracting in its own way.

Thanks!

This is on iPad 2020, using the Zoom app.

After a year of getting used to having the taskbar (mute, video, end meeting, etc) on the side, the update today (24 April 2024) suddenly changed the taskbar to the bottom of the screen.

I cannot find a way to change its orientation again - anyone have any ideas?

I don't understand why users can't have a way to orient the taskbar as they wish?

The new whiteboards are really cumbersome. Has any one found any tricks to make them at least partially usable?

What I would like to see are;
  - default to all eyes on me

  - make all eyes on me sticky

  - a quick way to jump back to sharing the previous whiteboard

  - a quick way to create a new slide and jump to that

  - a quick next slide / previous slide button.

or a reliable way to force it to use the classic whiteboard. I know there are supposed to be options for that but I can not get any of them to work.

Do any of the above exist?
