- Remove Only Allow New whiteboards when Host is in the meeting setting
Zoom is removing the Only Allow New whiteboards when Host is in the meeting setting. Account admins can control when boards are created via the Who can initiate new whiteboards in meeting setting.
New and enhanced features
- Admin Features
- Whiteboard APIs
Whiteboard APIs have been released so users and third-party developers can extend and build applications for Whiteboard.
- User features
- Support for Whiteboard charts and graphic tools
Users can easily create and present info-graphical data, summarize voting sessions, assess sentiment, and track project timelines directly on whiteboard using chart and graph object tools. - Support for accessible Whiteboard controls on a touch display
To enhance accessibility and inclusivity in shared space Zoom rooms, users can conveniently access all Whiteboard controls on a touch display at 48 inches or lower. This ensures that, regardless of where the whiteboard is placed, controls and the drawing toolbar are comfortably within reach. - Smart connector preview
Zoom Whiteboard introduces a smart connector preview that activates when users hover over objects. This preview helps users determine whether a connector will link objects or connect to a duplicate of the same object. With this enhancement, users can create flowcharts and diagrams more quickly, saving valuable time. - Improvements to Version history and Board activity
Several improvements have been made to the Version history and Board activity. Version history has now additional restore points which allows users to restore a page to its previous state, even if users have deleted it. Users also have the ability to right-click and duplicate, and select and copy objects from previous versions. Board activity only displays activities that involve adding or deleting objects, or editing text. All other actions are no longer displayed. Multiple activities by the same user are consolidated and activities occurring within the same minute are condensed. - Enhancements to All Eyes on Me feature
The All Eyes on Me feature has undergone several improvements. Users now have additional activation options. When enabled, the entire board immediately follows along without the need for a confirmation pop-up. Furthermore, the All Eyes on Me icon remains visible in the interface, even if no other users are actively using the board, ensuring consistency with the rest of the interface. - Ability to rearrange icons on the core toolbar
The current arrangement of icons on the toolbar has been improved to make the user experience more intuitive and flexible. The improvements include the ability to drag and reorder icons on the core toolbar, allowing you to prioritize your most frequently used tools. - Ability to import text or CSV file as sticky notes
Users have the ability to directly upload a comma-separated value (.csv) file to Whiteboard, where it can be inserted either as a table or sticky notes. This feature streamlines the process of transitioning content from the document editing tool to the Whiteboard canvas.
Resolved issues
Note: The Ability to share a whiteboard from Zoom Team Chat feature has been pulled from release due to issues with deployment and will be available in another upcoming release.
For full notes including version numbers, please see the operating system release notes.

Administrators can configure additional standalone cameras for use with Smart Gallery or Intelligent Director. One Smart Gallery camera can be used with one or two additional standalone cameras. Alternatively, two or three Intelligent Director cameras can be used with one additional stand-alone camera.

Hosts can control who in the meeting can ask AI Companion questions about the current meeting, when active in the current meeting. In addition to setting these defaults through web settings, the host can also control AI Companion access during the live meeting. The in-meeting options are the same as the web settings, restricting access to only themselves (the host), all participants from the point they join (meaning they cannot ask questions about topics from before they joined), or all participants for the entire time the AI Companion is active. If this is locked by admins, hosts cannot change this access during the live meeting.
- Management features

Administrators can configure which camera control modes are available in Zoom Rooms from the web portal. - Additional controls for ad-hoc meeting calendar events - Win
When users start an ad-hoc meeting from a Zoom Room using the New Meeting button, calendar integrated rooms will automatically create a calendar event so the room cannot be reserved by someone else during the ad-hoc meeting. With this enhancement, administrators have additional controls to toggle this behavior on or off, and set the duration of the automatically created calendar event. - Enhancements to viewing chat - Win
Administrators can choose to display the chat window by default on the Zoom Room display when meetings start.
