Hi all,

I’ve been using zoom whiteboard for a while and today when i click on my past comments they don’t know anymore, they appreared to be glitching and unstable. I’ve restarted my laptop, restated zoom , updated the app to the latest version, used the browser, but none of them worked. For new comments, that's not a problem - if I create a new one then it works properly. Does anyone have the same problem, and if yes how did you solve it?

Thank you!

Hi, I cannot access the comments on my whiteboard. I have the Zoom app on my laptop updated to the latest version (6.3.10) have restarted the app and my laptop several times, and even opened the whiteboard in a new browser, but nothing worked. If I add a new comment then I can open it, but any other past comment can't be opened - whether it's from me or from others.

Issue: Copying and Pasting Images Between Whiteboards Not Working

Hi everyone,

Over the past week, I've been experiencing an issue when trying to copy and paste images from one Zoom Whiteboard to another. This feature had worked flawlessly for several months, but now it suddenly stopped working.

Specifically, I'm copying images from a whiteboard where I prepare teaching materials and trying to paste them into the whiteboard I use during class. When I paste, the images briefly appear and then disappear again. It looks like the whiteboard reloads itself right after the paste action.

I've tested this in Firefox, Chrome, and the Zoom Workplace App on Ubuntu — the issue happens in all of them.

Any ideas what might be causing this or how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Hannes

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!

Resolved! Classic whiteboard gets deleted if I share a different screen then come back to it

I'm on Zoom Version 6.3.11 (50104) on MacBook Air MacOS 15.3.2 (24D81)

 

I have been teaching online since lockdown and I use Classic whiteboard for notes.  I often switch to share a webpage or a pdf then come back to the whiteboard and continue the notes.  This works fine.  I share the notes with the student after the lesson.

 

Today, following the update, every time I switch back to Classic whiteboard all the notes are gone and I've got a blank whiteboard.  This is exceedingly disruptive as we normally carry on with the same calculations through the lesson and now all the work we've done is gone every time we come back after looking at a different screen, for example, the pdf of the problem we're working on.

 

I explain to the students that every once in a while Zoom releases an update that ruins everything, and it's happened again.

 

Please can someone direct me to the setting that makes the Classic whiteboard remain intact if you stop sharing it, share a different screen, then come back to it?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

I start meetings from within whiteboards, which is a great zoom feature.

Immediately after the meeting starts, a red color message shows up at the top-middle of the window, telling me how many people are following me, for example:

   16 people are following you [stop] 

 

This seems the only dialog in Zoom that has a [stop] button, and I'm worried what happens when I click it. What does stop do? Will it stop these people from following me? Or will the people be disconnected from my whiteboard? Or does it simply make the message go away?

 

I tried to search for help with the keywords "people are following you", but did not get any useful results.

 

I'm looking forward to an explanation from this forum.

 

Thank you.

-R.L.
