Update for Zoom Whiteboard

New or enhanced feature

Admin features

Whiteboard file conversion

• Admins can convert and embed files from Miro, Mural, and Visio into editable Zoom Whiteboard content through an API. The API accepts parameters including file path, conversion type, whiteboard name, and owner information. The conversion process extracts content from PDF and .vsdx files to create new whiteboards. Upon completion, the API returns success or error responses based on the conversion status.

The importer now supports line dash conversions for straight lines and includes connector support between objects. The unified code base for bulk and canvas exports ensures consistent handling of imported content.
• Users can import additional Miro object types into Zoom Whiteboard with improved accuracy. The importer now supports line dash styles for straight lines and various connector types from Miro boards. The unified code base for bulk and canvas importing ensures consistent frame conversion and presentation.

Locked content interaction

Board claiming through unified modal

Connected users can be instantly assigned as owners, while new users can be added through a searchable people picker that displays account members.
