Zoom: Using the Whiteboard

Zoom has a whiteboard feature to collaborate with others during meetings. It has many different tools (draw, shapes, lines, sticky notes, and text) and you can even create more than one page if you need a new "sheet" to work on.

One nice thing about a Zoom whiteboard is you can even set up your own whiteboard before the meeting, instead of populating it during the meeting. So, if you have something for people to look at and update, you can have that ready as soon as you share the whiteboard. And you can save several whiteboards!

1. Log in to Zoom and click the Whiteboard icon at the top to set up before the meeting.
   
2. Click the New button to start a new whiteboard.
