Use of the new persistent whiteboard in zoom meetings. - Why can't i add images in a meeting?

Hi folks, just wondering is it just me, or has the ability to add images to a persistent whiteboard been disabled within an actual Zoom meeting? i can add them through the web interface, but once i'm IN a meeting and actually using the whiteboards, i can't add images on the fly. 

This strikes me as hugely unhelpful aspect of the tech and i really don't understand it. I can only assume it's a tech issue of not being able to immediately are images. But it seems like a massive limitation.

Or is it Just due to my machine being an older MacBook? 

Feedback graciously accepted.

We want to build out 100 or so rooms with Neat Bars and replace the physical whiteboards on the other walls with DTEN D7 digital whiteboards. It's a shame to find out that Companion Whiteboards don't work with Zoom Appliances, only macOS or Windows based Zoom Rooms. 

 

Any ideas + roadmap for this functionality?

Hi ! 

Other people I work with have the new whiteboard tab in zoom meetings and I don't. 

I'm on a Mac with Big Sur 11.6.6

And I just updated the zoom client version on my computer. 

I guess the workaround is to create a zoom whiteboard on line and share the link, but I'd love to use the full functionality. 

Thanks !!

Only whiteboards can be shared.

I upgraded linux and now I can only share whiteboards.

The OS I'm using is fedora.
The version I upgraded from is 34 to 35.

Hello. I updated my Zoom client and have lost some important functionality in regards to recording and using the whiteboard. A little background:

 

I've been using Zoom for about a year for French classes two times per week. My teacher is in France and I'm in the USA. I record the classes to my local PC so that I can go back and take notes, etc. Before today, the normal flow for the class would be 1) I launch the meeting, 2) teacher connects, 3) I start the recording, 4) when she needs to use the whiteboard, I make her the host, she launches the whiteboard and the recording continues to capture both of our cameras and the whiteboard to my local PC. 5) At the end of class, we end the session and the recording renders to my PC.

 

After the update I installed this weekend, I start the recording but when I promote her to host so that she can launch/manage the whiteboard, the recording stops. So I tried using the new Whiteboards option. She's able to manage the whiteboard now without making her host, so my recording continues, but she is no longer able to see my camera. This makes it difficult to have a conversation with me about what she is writing.

 

I have to get the previous functionality/capability back before in the next 48 hours or move on to another platform that will give me what I need. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice. Happy to provide more info if needed.

No Annotate icons, whiteboard can't be shared

In my meetings, my clients have not got access to the Annotate button - it reportedly isn't present on their screen either on Windows 10 or iOS. I have added Whiteboards and created one in the last meeting, but the only two participants were me, 1 on PC with webcam, 1 on Android tablet.

 

How do I

 

1) Fix annotate so it shows and users can annotate my screen shares

 

And/or

 

2) Add participants to Whiteboard. I went through every option and setting (wasting meeting time) trying to find a way to add other users.
