Whiteboard

The white board platform Lacks importing an image as a background.My background is a template that i want to use.If I uplaod an image then it interferes with my writing and soon you want to erase any of your writings then the image (assumed to be a background ) will be erased instead of the writing.Thus zoom developers of whiteboard should consider an option for a background that one can import which is untouchable by the "erase" option or holding/dragging an image which i s the case now. I appreciate any feedback on this new option to be introduced.

When I host a meet all but one user can use their annotate options. The user is on a Lenovo Chromebook. I have made sure that annotate is enabled for the user from my end. Any suggestions please ? 

Hi all,I am the only one user of this account and when I go down to admin > account management > account settings > whiteboard > whiteboard sharing default and choose 'who has access' as 'anyone' and then go to choose 'access level'... it does not allow me to click 'editor'. ('commenter' and 'editor' are greyed out and not able to be selected).I want anyone on the zoom to be able to be an editor on any whiteboard and this is just not letting me do that! I have tried everything!Any help would be gratefully appreciated.  Thank you!  

I've been encountering a specific issue with Zoom whiteboard during my recorded tutoring sessions, and I'm hoping to find some guidance or a solution here. During the live session, everything seems to work fine, but when watching the recording, the annotations made by the tutor aren't visible until they move to a new text box. At that point, all the previous annotations suddenly become visible

Would be soooo grateful if someone could help. SO:I write on the whiteboard,then I close it and go back to the main room.When I re-open the whiteboard again during the same meeting, whatever i had written is not there anymore, it gets deleted and i have to restart with a fresh whiteboard.  Anyone can help keeping the writing on the board ? THANKS! this is driving me mad!

Why does zoom application always quit while my student share their whiteboard on the screen (iPad 9th)?  

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.

Hi, I have to use my iPad for my lesson for two weeks and somehow when I open the board a d try to add any text it doesn't work, however if I write in the chat it does. I've tried to look to any keyboard options on the settings but I can't find a anything. Does anyone know what is this about? I really appreciate your time and attention 

I am trying to use the whiteboard function for an activity that a group would complete outside a meeting. Most participants are not in my organization. Basically, i want to use this like I would use a google jamboard (but with the added cool features that I see on zoom whiteboard). When I try to share, it says I can't share with external users, and when external users try to log in, they need to ask to be invited to the jamboard. I would like a link that I can send that allows anyone wiht the link to access and edit the whiteboard outside of a meeting (again, like Jamboard does).  Is this functionality available? I can't figure out why it wouldn't be but I have spend 45 minutes trying to figure out how to do it. THanks! 

Hello! When I am using the tablet-pencil or the mouse they stop working and the only way for them to work again is closing the meeting and opening a new one. This is very disruptive while I am teaching. Have someone encountered this problem before? Any idea why it happend or how to resolve it without closing the meeting? I appreciate your help a lot! Thanks

Hi, do you need help to know how I can join my zoom meeting, once I'm on the whiteboard, how do I get the client to see me? Thanks

I have a teaching exercise that I would like to do with my class. I want to break them into two separate breakout rooms, give them a prompt, and ask them each to brainstorm ideas on a whiteboard. After they finish brainstorming, I would like to bring the entire group back together and display all of their ideas on a single common whiteboard.  My problem is that I am not finding a way to copy the contents of their breakout room whiteboards to a common full-group whiteboard. I have tried to copy and paste the contents, but this does not work (it seems that in order to open a second whiteboard, the first one must close and then I lose access to that content, even if I have copied it to my clipboard.  (Zoom Workplace running on my desktop PC) I'm feeling stuck and would be most appreciative of any ideas to make this exercise work. Thanks.  

Hello - I've created a zoom whiteboard containing 12 different pages for a shared project for work. Whiteboard is supposedly auto-saving my work but after closing out of Zoom and returning after a few hours, my updated work is gone. I've tried saving versions of my work, and that doesn't seem to save either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After yesterday's update I couldn't open the classic whiteboard.I've followed the instructions in the help me database and closed and reopened Zoom but it still opens the new board.I've unchecked the box that says "Use Whiteboard by default if available" because there's a message that says "The new Zoom Whiteboard will open by default when screen sharing. Unselect this setting if you prefer to open the classic Whiteboard instead." https://imgur.com/a/mCSDafU 

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. 

When I open whiteboard, it does not work, and , also I am getting messeges like "Use ctrl+B to bold the text" 

Hey! Could you tell me please how to hide and unhide frames from my students? For example, I'm teaching a lesson and I created some frames with learning materials and exercises, but I also want to place the answers for myself (but I don't want students to see them). How do I do that? I've found the feature to hide/unhide frames, but when I hide the frame it becomes invisible for me too. Please help)

I unticked/unchecked the button that says:"Use Whiteboard by default if available" I restarted zoom ... nothing has changed, I still get the old whiteboard that is not fit for purpose.

Hello! I have already read lots of articles and instructions how to switch on a classic whiteboard but it doesn't work for me. don't send me the same steps which mentioned in articles because they are not helpful      Also, I have already unchecked that box but still not working. Thanks in advance. 

The prolem is with the new whiteboard, which is a disaster. Previously a whiteboard saved all the information. I teach kids, so we wrote sth on the wb, then switched to another app, or stopped sharing at all, and when we came back all previous info was there. I don't need these whiteboards saved in the cloud. I just need all info there during the lessons even if i close the whiteboard. How to solve it? 

When I share the board with other people, they sometimes lose the "add image to the board" button. Why is this happening?

Help me fix the error with the board. I want to provide access to the board, but the zoom gives a server error. How to share the board with another participant so that he can access it at any time and have access to it?   

I needed to set my Whiteboard to the Classic Whiteboard as a permanent feature. After the latest update, even after I have read the article, followed all their steps, step-by-step, toggle on and off and saving the setting. It still opens up the new whiteboard, nothing I do on my side, changes the setting. Anyone knows how to solve this issue? And is there no way of contacting Zoom customer support for technical issues like this via email? Thanks in advance! 

Hello everyone!I used to work on a whiteboard with my students and they could write or draw something on it. This has not been possible for some time now. I tried everything, adjusted settings, and made sure students were logged in to ZOOM. Still, that doesn't work. Can someone please help me?

When I've been using Whiteboard with groups of trainees, someone inadvertently selects the "All eyes on me" while I'm giving directions for the activity we're about to start. It's a nonverbal interruption. Does anyone know of a way to disable participant access to this feature, other than limiting users to the view only mode?
