Whiteboard resizing when I use the toolbar

When teaching my math class, I always screenshare the classic whiteboard because it's bigger. When I click the toolbar to erase what I wrote, the whiteboard minimizes by about 30%. This just started today. If I want to change the ink color, nothing goes wrong. Touching my pen to anything I usually do on that toolbar minimizes the whiteboard every time.

 

I just uninstalled Zoom Workplace Pro yesterday in order to update it via reinstalling. That's because the update instructions use features I don't have. I repeated that process this morning to no avail.

 

My version is now 6.2.3 (47507) on a Dell Inspiron 3793 laptop (Windows 11).

 

Is anyone else having this issue?

When opening a whiteboard inside a meeting, I get the option of Collaborating Mode and Presenting Mode. This works great. However, I cannot find a way to switch between modes once the whiteboard is already open. Is this possible to do? Or is the only way to exit the whiteboard and open it again in Presenting mode or vice-versa?

I am using the Zoom Web Client in Chrome

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.

Share whiteboards with external lists

Hi , I've been getting so many emails lately asking to edit whiteboards from strange Zoom accounts , I'm sure I haven't attended any of the meetings.
Does Zoom have a whiteboard sharing invitation feature for external users?

I have a Powerpoint that I present in meetings. I've created a whiteboard as an interactive part of the presentation. Can I insert the whiteboard into the Powerpoint and have it remain interactive and functional? As it is not, I have to stop sharing the Powerpoint, share the whiteboard, stop sharing the whiteboard and start sharing the Powerpoint--at which point it goes back to the beginning. It's really a clunky process while you're live. I see that there is an iframe code for the whiteboard but I can't see how to insert the code on a Powerpoint slide. Any suggestions?

When starting screen sharing, only the new whiteboard comes up (classic does not appear despite settings as described in the support) and "Switch on Share sound" and "optimize video"are grayed out and cannot be turned on.

Compared to classic whiteboard where audio and video were possible this is a major drawback.!Any help?

I am using Zoom to tutor and we are writing collaboratively. Sometimes when neither of us has hit a delete key some of the text disappears. Today apparently the student hit the home button by mistake and three paragraphs we had written together was gone. Is there a setting I can use to keep the work there as I want to share it with the parents after class?

The past couple of times I've been tutoring a student and went to share my whiteboard, they couldn't see it.  At the top of the screen it says something like "0 people following you".  How do I get my student to "follow" my whiteboard?  There's only two of us on the meeting...both people seeing the whiteboard used to be automatic.

As of today, April 24, 2024, when sharing the WhiteBoard, I can no longer see the participant video. I have been using Zoom for years and I have not had this issue until today. I can see the participant video when I am not sharing the WhiteBoard. However, if the WhiteBoard is being shared, the only video I see is the host video. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

Whiteboard and sharing the sound

Hi, after the update I am not able to share the whiteboard and the sound at the background at the same time. The option "share the sound" is visible but it is not possible to choose it. The button is locked.
