Zoom Whiteboard allows collaborators in hybrid teams to capture ideas, processes, and concepts. These are persistent, expandable digital canvases that can be created, accessed, and shared before, during, and after meetings.
Creating Zoom Whiteboards
Users can create a whiteboard in one of three ways:
- Outside of a meeting by using their installed Zoom desktop app. Select Whiteboards.
After selecting one of these options, you may receive the following prompt to either use Zoom Whiteboard or Classic Whiteboard. The new Zoom Whiteboard is different from the Classic Whiteboard which cannot be reused in future meetings and has limited functionality. We recommend using the new Zoom Whiteboard and clicking Don’t show again.
