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. This article provides some basic tips and links to other sources.

OVERVIEW

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.

• Users can create a whiteboard outside of a meeting by using their installed Zoom desktop app.

• Users can create a whiteboard by logging into carleton.zoom.us 

After clicking on an option to create a Whiteboard, 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’.
