Release notes for Zoom Whiteboard

New and enhanced features

• User Features
  • Sharing whiteboards between linked organizations
    Users within linked master and sub-accounts can collaborate without constraints, enabling them to freely share and exchange content.
  • Saving whiteboards in Zoom Rooms by email
    Zoom has simplified the process of saving whiteboards in Zoom Rooms. Collaborators can now bypass the pairing process and save directly by just entering their email address.
  • Support for cross-cluster sharing and external users for Whiteboard Projects
    Users can add external collaborators to their projects, expanding collaboration beyond internal teams. External users can assume roles such as viewer, commenter, editor, and co-owner, aligning with internal user permissions. This facilitates cross-cluster sharing, which enhances project visibility and accelerates decision-making processes.
  • Enhancements to comment notifications
    Users have the ability to click on notifications received in the Zoom Activity Center when mentioned in a comment. Clicking on the notification takes users directly to the relevant board, navigating precisely to the area where they were mentioned. The system not only directs users to the specific board but also opens the comment panel, ensuring they immediately engage with the context of the mention.
  • Redirect users from classic Whiteboard to new Zoom Whiteboard
    A new Zoom Whiteboard flow is in place, giving priority to the modernized new Zoom Whiteboard while still ensuring accessibility for classic Whiteboard users.
    • When users click on the classic Whiteboard entry point, the system checks conditions to determine if the new Whiteboard can be opened.
    • Eligible users, meeting the necessary conditions, are seamlessly redirected to the new Zoom Whiteboard, offering an upgraded meeting experience.
    • Users have the option to switch back to the classic Whiteboard via their meeting settings. Under In Meeting (Basic) settings, users can click the Use Whiteboard by default if available toggle to seamlessly revert back to the classic Whiteboard in their next meeting.
    • For users entering the new Zoom Whiteboard directly from the dedicated button on the meeting bar, the Back to Classic option is not available, ensuring a consistent environment for these users.
  • Auto-generate frames
    A new option enables users to automatically generate frames when they upload embedded documents to the Whiteboard. By default, this feature remains unchecked, providing users with flexibility according to their preferences. In instances where applicable, frames are labeled with corresponding slide titles, enhancing navigation convenience.
  • Show comments on hover
    Users can swiftly preview comments directly from the board without entering individual threads. Comments are visible when hovering over the comment icon, providing a quick and convenient way to preview discussions. Comments in close proximity are intelligently grouped, ensuring a neat and organized presentation for enhanced user experience.
  • Additional sticky notes shapes
    Zoom Whiteboard offers additional sticky note shapes, including 1:1.5 and 1:2 rectangles. This provides users more options to choose from, making it easier to find the right shape for their content. 
  • Ability to edit object pixel dimension
    Users can optionally view the pixel height and width of an object while resizing it.
  • Consistent comment icon size
    The comment icon size has been adjusted to remain constant, providing clarity and ease of use regardless of the zoom level.
