Using the Zoom Whiteboard for ChatGPT connector

Zoom Whiteboard connects with ChatGPT so you can create and manage whiteboards using natural language. After you connect your Zoom account, you can ask ChatGPT to create whiteboards for brainstorming, planning, meeting summaries, strategy analysis, and diagrams.

When a whiteboard is created, ChatGPT can show a preview of the generated content before you open it in Zoom Whiteboard. You can then edit, share, and collaborate on the whiteboard using the standard Zoom Whiteboard tools.

In addition to using and accessing Zoom Whiteboard content in ChatGPT, you can also add the Zoom for ChatGPT app to access and use your Zoom meeting information and meeting assets within your ChatGPT experience.
