I went to open my WhiteBoard that I have been using for the last 6 month to organize research and now all of the sudden it won't open. I received the error message: "There is an error loading recent version of the page. Use version history to recover previous version of the page." But I have looked everywhere and I can't find a version history link or button that will do this. I have also submitted a help ticket and I have gotten zero response. Can someone please help me recover 6 months of my work??

Whiteboard: “Disable annotation" feature missing

I teach kids who need to be able to scroll without writing on the Whiteboard. I also need to be able to turn on and off their ability to write on the whiteboard. After using this feature in my online classroom for a while, it now appears to be missing.

 

As I recall, in the past I’ve been able to simply turn off the ability for a child to write on the whiteboard: easily found and easily done. Help files direct me to the three dots (More) dropdown menu, where “disable annotation” should be one of the options. However, my “More” dropdown does not include “disable annotation.” I’ve searched every menu and control I can find without success. This feature is absolutely necessary for my daily work.

Здравствуйте! При работе использую доски, встроенные в Zoom. При истечении некоторого времени она становится доступна только для просмотра. Это происходит из-за того, что я редко в нее захожу? Или как бы часто я в нее не заходил, без подписки она всегда будет переходить в этот режим? Заранее спасибо)

signing in to use whiteboards

Why is it I have log in again to use  a whiteboard? I'm already logged in to be in a scheduled meeting. Why isn't that sufficient?

Problem Retrieving Whiteboard After Removing & Reassigning a User

Hello Zoom Community,


We’re experiencing an issue with a Whiteboard that was previously owned by our company.

 

After removing and reassigning one of our users, no one on our team—including me as the account admin—can access this Whiteboard.


We still have the last shareable link, but it’s now inaccessible to everyone in the workspace.

 

If anyone @All  has insights or knows the steps to restore access, we’d greatly appreciate your help!

 

Additional Details for Troubleshooting

  • The Whiteboard was originally created by a user who has since been removed from our Zoom account.
  • After reassigning that user’s license to someone else, the Whiteboard no longer appears under “My Whiteboards” for any member of our team (including the admin).
  • We tried accessing it via the last shareable link we have, but we receive an error or a “no permission” message.
  • We’ve already checked Whiteboard settings, user permissions, and admin privileges, but haven’t found a solution.

Thank you in advance.

Breakouts working on different Whiteboards?

Hello, 

I held a workshop today, and I prepared various whiteboards beforehand. My plan was to have three breakout groups working on their dedicated whiteboards simultaneously. But I had no idea how to make the people getting access to "their" whiteboards. All ideas I tried failed. Sending them a link failed, they had to enter a password (?), and a pop-up said, no cursor is shown when more than five people enter the same whiteboard.

 

All the options are "open", no restrictions, so according to the settings, everybody should be able to use it. Is it possible that ZOOM doesn't support such a situation with multiple whiteboards for multiple breakout groups?

 

Thank you for your input,

Akki

Hello, 

 

I am using breakout rooms as part of an online training course. I would like the participants in the breakout rooms to be able to use (edit) a whiteboard that is pre-populated with an image. Each breakout room needs their own whiteboard, but the image is the same. Is there an easy way to do this? 


As a workaround, I have tried to join each breakout room and upload the image myself, but it does not always work and it is time consuming. Is there a fix for this?

I'm having error while others share whiteboard during the zoom meetings and also while accessing the docs tab. Having same error scheduling zoom meetings too.

Had reported the problem but since I'm a free user there is no support.

Appreciate if someone can enlighten or help to solve the issue. 

The other participants can see the shared whiteboard so I'm pretty sure the issue is on my end.

Had done multiples uninstalling and installing to no avail.

When I am sharing whiteboard and editing live, participants' pen edits to my whiteboard jump from the original place the pen is placed. This issue started after I completed the latest update and is preventing my online teaching business without this functionality corrected. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
