Expansion of Whiteboard analytics dashboard to all regions

Release notes for Zoom Whiteboard

New and enhanced features

Admin features

• Expansion of Whiteboard analytics dashboard to all regions
  The Whiteboard analytics dashboard is now accessible in all regions, eliminating the previous restriction limited to the US region.
• Ability to open a whiteboard in view-only mode
  Admins with Whiteboard Content permission can now open whiteboards from the Whiteboard Management page in a view-only mode. This allows admins to quickly and easily view the contents of a whiteboard without the need to export it as a PDF. In addition, an entry is added to the Operation log, recording the activity that the admin opened and viewed the whiteboard.

User features

• Independent controls for image and document uploads and file download restrictions
  Users can manage image and document uploads independently for Whiteboard. Previously, users were unable to control image and document uploads independently, as there was only one setting for both features. In addition, a new setting has been implemented, granting users more control over file downloads. This enhancement allows users to determine whether files uploaded to a whiteboard can be downloaded by external users, enabling further privacy, and reducing potential risks.
• Support for iFrame widget/control in Whiteboard
  An iFrame widget/control in Whiteboard has been added, allowing users to embed live third-party applications such as YouTube, Vimeo, MSFT BI, or Looker Dashboards directly into the canvas. This enhancement provides additional content mediums to enable additional rich and varied content.
• Enhancements to Whiteboard retention policy
  New options are added to the retention policy setting for Whiteboard to give customers greater flexibility in defining their retention time periods. In addition to the existing option of identifying boards with no activity for defined thresholds, users can choose to delete whiteboards based on their creation date and modified date. Users can select retention periods ranging from 30 days to 2–7 years. To help users keep track of their boards, a reminder will trigger 15 days before a board is moved to the trash.
• Ability to favorite a template
  Users can mark templates as favorites, simplifying access to frequently used templates. The Favorite tab on the template dashboard has been added to enable users locating their preferred templates easily. This feature applies to templates on a global, personal, or organizational level.
• Enhancements to commenting feature
  Several enhancements have been applied to the commenting feature in Whiteboard, enabling users to maximize productivity and ease of use. The enhancements include enabling the option to insert hyperlinks in comments, updating the keyboard shortcuts for better usability, keeping the data while drafting the comment, and more.
• Ability to import text or CSV file as sticky notes
  Users have the ability to directly upload a .txt or CSV file to Whiteboard, where it will be automatically converted into sticky notes. This feature streamlines the process of transitioning content from the document editing tool to the Whiteboard canvas.
