Quiet frustrating: I've prepared several whiteboards for the simultaneous use in the session. I was opening these whiteboards and was writing on them - but the participiants could not use them. So no collaboration was possible. Just one participant was able to write on my prepared whiteboard - while his access via browser. 

So how can I use prepared (!) whiteboards as a starting point for working and writing on it? 

And furthermore: When it will be possible to provide prepared whiteboards in breakout rooms?

Thanks for help. While that was a annoying experience. 😞

Hi all, I use zoom to tutor students in math. Often I need a grid or coordinate plane as an overlay to the whiteboard. But, I don't know either how to drop an overlay - maybe a grid I make in excel - onto the whiteboard, where I'm still able to mark the grid with numbers, lines, dots, arrows, etc. 

Or, is there already a pre-made coordinate plane through zoom? 

Thank you for your help.

Hello! I updated Zoom a couple of days ago. Since then, my annotations have started to fail. While I am screen sharing and using the annotate tools, they disappear for a few seconds while I add text boxes, draw lines, use highlighters or shapes, click on tabs, and practically do anything that requires clicking or moving the cursor. It's really annoying because I use tools throughly, which means the participants can barely see what I am annotating.

Edit: I played around with the controls in a Zoom meeting. I discovered that pausing the shared screen is what triggers the annotations to fail. Unpausing does not solve the issue.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Zoom to no avail. I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch M1 from 2020 with MacOS Monterey 12.6.1. I would appreciate any feedback or recommendations to fix this issue. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to create links that will navigate (move your screen focus) to another location on the whiteboard?

The general idea is to have a whiteboard that has several sections; an overview section that could have clickable objects to navigate/zoom you to different sections of the whiteboard without having to use the minimap.

I recently purchased iPad 5th generation along with Apple Pencil and started seeing compatibility issues when I used Apple Pencil to write on Zoom whiteboard. There is a lag when one writes, the characters are unclear and appear sometimes not legible. I took it to the Apple store and they exchanged the iPad, Pencil and reloaded the software however this issue remained. I was advised by Apple representative that Zoom has issues with the Apple M1 chip and this needs to be resolved by Zoom with a software update. I do not have this issue with the Apple iPad 3rd generation the writing comes out perfectly well. Let me know if someone in this forum has seen similar issue and how was it resolved.

Hi Community Friends,

Twice today I've had text disappear from one of my completed templates.  I'm attaching a png of a before and after shot that clearly shows what happened.  I'm a bit disappointed and hoping this doesn't continue to happen.  Is this happening to anybody else?  Is there a fix or maybe a way to prevent it that I'm not aware of?

Blessings,

Melissa

Good morning,

In our upcoming training sessions, we will have participants moved into breakout rooms. Once there, we would like them to have the ability to open a whiteboard (like using a flipchart) to gather their group discussions, and then have the ability to save and then share their whiteboards (like flipchart paper) with everyone once they return to the main room. Is this possible? and if so, how is this achieved?

Thank you

I am running an Asus Windows 10 compter. I am a trainer and I create customized templates which go along with the training materials.  I cannot get Zoom to allow me to use the personal templates within the breakout rooms and give them functionality.   I have looked for videos but all the videos discuss the whiteboard but nothing about my templates or using personal templates. What must I do to use only personal templates in the breakout rooms?

Hi 

I am new to this platform. I need to learn if I can upload pdf file ( a book) and add post-it notes to it so I can do annotations on it for students. I have access to the zoom account used for the school, however, I created my own account so I can practice. Please, if anyone, can help me with directions I would appreciate it.
