Hi,

Can anybody help my writing Bangla text in the whiteboard? Thank you in advance. 

I am using a standard windows laptop. I can type Bangla and it appears nicely in the chatbox, no problem. However, when I am typing in the TEXT BOX in Zoom whiteboard, the Bangla/Bengali text is appearing nicely while the cursor is in the text box. As soon as I am clicking outside the text box, the English text is there, but the Bangla text is becoming either boxes or disappearing completely depending on the different fonts from the zoom'z given list of fonts. By the way, I used Avro Keyboard (National Jatiya) developped by OmicronLab. 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

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... Show more

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?

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 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!

Whiteboard Neven Starts on Second Screen

Anyone else use two screens and can't get their whitboard to start on the second screen? I have the dual screens setting toggled on. I use the Classic Whiteboard. My computer knows which screen is screen 1 and which is screen 2 - but Zoom apparently doesn't. Since I am an adult education teacher, I want the documents I'm sharing on my second screen, not on my main screen. I don't want to accidentally share confidential information on my main screen. But every time I pull up the whiteboard, I have to move it over. Is there any real fix to this?

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!

The Whiteboard editing icons do not remain selected for next use.
If I want to add text multiple times, I have to click the letter T every time, and change the color every time.
The same applies to lines and pen.
Why don't these settings remain as previously set?
Am I missing a configuration?

How are you using your iPad for drawing on the whiteboard?

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
