Help shape the future of Zoom Whiteboard — talk directly with our Product team

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Nikki, the Product Lead for Zoom Whiteboard.

We see how many of you discover, try, and use Whiteboard every day — but numbers alone don’t tell us why you keep coming back, what feels confusing or frustrating, or what might make Whiteboard truly indispensable for you.

We’d love to change that by talking directly with you.

If you:

  • Use Zoom Whiteboard for brainstorming, meetings, planning, or teaching

  • Are on the free plan (especially!) or recently upgraded

  • Tried Whiteboard but didn’t stick with it

  • Have things you love and things that drive you a little crazy

then we would really appreciate the chance to chat.

These are short, informal conversations — not sales calls — where we’ll mostly listen and ask questions about:

  • How you discovered Zoom Whiteboard

  • What you use it for (or hoped to use it for)

  • What’s working well and what’s not

  • What would make it more valuable for you

If you’re open to it, you can book time with us here:
👉 https://scheduler.zoom.us/nikki-kaul/chat-with-zoom-whiteboard-product-team

Your feedback directly shapes our roadmap, and we want to make sure we’re building Whiteboard with you, not just for you.

Thanks for being part of the community ❤️
— Nikki

    The book time is no longer available.  I was wondering if you can increase the ability of Whiteboard for pasting in Excel info as it seems limited by number of lines that can paste in.  Was trying to document some Zoom things inside of Zoom App versus outside like in Excel if that makes any sense.  I ended up having to remove multiple docs I was trying to create since it was only pasting in about half the info.

    Hello,

    The Scheduler link seems to not be working, I'm really keen to participate in this.

    My main request is:  TABLES NEED THE OPTION FOR BORDERS!!
    If you create a table, currently there are no borders between the cells / rows and columns.  (Only a border around the entire thing) 

    For my purposes this defeats the point of having a table, as you can't see the cells - - therefore your group you are collaborating with, can't see where to input their data. Yesterday I had to create a multicoloured grid which was not really suitable. The simple option of borders as you can opt for in Excel, would solve this. 

     

    Sincerely

    Clare

    We recently switched to ZOOM-Whiteboard, simply because we already use the Meetings and “pay for it anyway”. I’m hoping for an easier way to use it in Breakout-Rooms or group work. The use case is, that I share a whiteboard in my meeting and then put the participants in breakout rooms. They are supposed to continue working on the same board (different areas or different pages). To enable this, one in each group has to figure out, how to share the whiteboard in the breakout sessions for the group to continue working. Or I give them the link and they work in browser, missing the option to work directly in zoom meeting.

    I would wish for something like:

    • if a whiteboard is shared in main it will automatically be shared in breakout rooms as well (it can be canceled by the group, if they need to show their screen instead, and re-shared afterwards)
    • the individual whiteboard mode (cool function!) can be set up for groups (not just single users) and can be linked to breakout groups

    This is great to see 👏

    I’ve used Whiteboard a bit for brainstorming and quick collaboration, and it’s definitely useful, but there are moments where it feels a bit less intuitive compared to other tools.

    Would love to see improvements around ease of navigation, performance with larger boards, and smoother real-time collaboration. Those would make it much more “go-to” for daily use.

    Appreciate you reaching out to the community directly  will try to join a session 👍
