Zoom has now made its collaboration tool, Zoom Whiteboard, available for general release.
The Zoom Whiteboard was designed to help the hybrid workforce work together seamlessly on a digital canvas, creating and sharing new ideas.
Following a redesign, Zoom's virtual Whiteboard is now a cross-platform solution, integrated with Zoom Meetings and Zoom Rooms. Support for Zoom Chat will also be functional soon.
Zoom Whiteboard has several design features: dashboard, sharing, notes and messages, shapes, connectors, images, and canvas size. Zoom believes its solution also offers greater security than in-room whiteboards, which may be vulnerable to data leakages.
Oded Gal, Chief Product Officer of Zoom, said: "Not only are we supporting customers as they adapt to this new phase of work, but we're anticipating what comes next, and building platform solutions, like Zoom Whiteboard, to address it."
"Zoom Whiteboard is arming teams with the power of continuous communication in an easy-to-use solution that provides a virtual space to collaborate before, during, and after a meeting."
Design Features of Zoom Whiteboard
Dashboard: Create new and manage existing canvases, including user access.
Sharing: Users can save and export their creations internally or externally.
Notes and Messages: Sticky notes can be used to write down ideas, and users can exchange messages.
Shapes, Connectors, and Images: Shapes and connectors can be applied to improve brainstorming and other project creations. Images can also be dragged and dropped onto the canvas.
Canvas Size: Users can extend the canvas up to 12 pages in length.
Users will be able to collaborate on Zoom Whiteboard using a web browser, desktop, tablet, or Zoom Rooms for Touch.
