Update für Zoom Whiteboard

Release notes for Zoom Whiteboard

New and enhanced features

Admin features

• Ability to restrict external link sharing for Zoom Whiteboard
  Admins can disable external link sharing within their organization. If the Allow external link sharing checkbox is unchecked in the admin portal under the Sharing section, the option Anyone can access is disabled in the share sheet. A tooltip displays "Your admin has disabled this function" when users attempt to share a link externally. This feature gives admins more control over external collaboration while still allowing external users to be invited.
• Email and team chat notifications management for Whiteboard
  Account owners and admins can manage email and team chat notifications for Zoom Whiteboard. They can disable email and team chat notifications for the entire organization or specific groups. Users can also turn email and team chat notifications on or off at an individual level. However, notifications for permission requests remain enabled by default. This feature allows organizations to reduce notification noise and control the volume of emails received related to Whiteboard activities.
• Enhancements to default access level settings
  Admins can set the default access level for Anyone as Editor or Commenter in the Whiteboard Sharing Defaults section of the admin settings. Previously, the default access level for Anyone was limited to Viewer . This enhancement enables more flexible collaboration scenarios, as the default access level is applied to users' shared whiteboards.

User features

• Notify users when account sharing settings prevent meeting users from collaborating on a whiteboard after a meeting
  Notifications will be displayed to inform users if meeting participants cannot collaborate on a whiteboard opened in a meeting because they have out of meeting sharing disabled.
• Notification for exceeding maximum size of individual whiteboard
  Users are notified when a whiteboard has exceeded its maximum size. Board owners and co-owners with non-Plus licenses can clear the version history to free up space. Billing admins with non-Plus licenses also have the option to upgrade their license. This feature ensures users can continue collaborating on whiteboards without exceeding storage limits.
• Annotation with stamps, stickers, emojis, and GIFs
  Users can add stamps, stickers, emojis, and GIFs to the Zoom Whiteboard canvas. A new submenu houses these annotation tools, allowing users to add them consecutively on the canvas. Stamps will be added as an annotation tool, while stickers, emojis, and GIFs can be added one by one. This feature provides a more engaging and expressive way for users to give feedback and collaborate on visual documents.
• Cast Zoom Whiteboard in a room
  Users can open a previously created Zoom Whiteboard in a nearby room with a simple workflow. The Open this WB in a room option appears if the admin has enabled the Show Pair and Save setting. This new flow simplifies the process of sharing and collaborating on whiteboards across devices.
• Restrict viewer actions on shared whiteboards
  Owners and co-owners can restrict viewers from exporting, duplicating, downloading content, or making templates from their whiteboards. By default, all actions are enabled for viewers. Owners can choose whether the restrictions apply to all viewers or only external viewers. This feature gives document owners greater control over how their whiteboards are accessed and used by viewers.
• Connectors added to shapes library
  Users can now conveniently access connectors directly from the shapes panel. New connector options include Straight Line, Straight Arrow, Elbowed Arrow, and Curved Arrow. Connectors are grouped under a dedicated folder within the shapes panel, enabling users to swiftly add them alongside shapes.
• Sticky notes duplication
  Users can easily duplicate sticky notes side by side on the whiteboard using the CMD+D shortcut. The duplicated sticky notes are placed at the next available position without overlapping, allowing users to rapidly jot down ideas or content. When duplicating frames, both the frame and its content are copied, keeping the content within the new frame.
