Whiteboard

An infinite canvas for collaboration right inside Zoom: sticky notes, diagrams and sketches — before a meeting, during it and after it.

What it is

Zoom Whiteboard is an infinite canvas for collaboration inside the Zoom platform. The board isn't created anew for every meeting: it is saved in your account and opens before a meeting, during it and after it, when the work continues.

In a meeting the board is turned on with one tap from the toolbar, and every participant is on it right away — no links, no invitations, no waiting for access. In a meeting room with a touchscreen you walk up to the board and start drawing with your hands.

The canvas holds sticky notes and text, diagrams and flowcharts, freehand sketches, ready-made templates and kanban boards. Zoom AI helps you start: from a description of the task it produces the first ideas, groups sticky notes by topic and assembles a template for the specific job.

A canvas that doesn't disappear
  • One tap from any meeting
  • Sticky notes, diagrams, sketches and templates
  • Zoom AI starts the work for you
  • Touchscreens in meeting rooms
  • Permissions, ownership and retention periods

One tap — and everyone is on the board

A meeting stops being a one-way presentation and becomes shared work

Voting with a timer

You can vote on any object on the board, and the vote has a deadline. The decision is made in the meeting instead of being pushed to the next one and the one after that.

Follow mode

Participants see the canvas through the presenter's eyes: they lead across the board and everyone follows their cursor. Nobody gets lost on an endless surface or asks where to look.

Personal boards in breakout rooms

Each participant gets their own board for individual work, while the host sees all of them at once. Handy for workshops, reviews and study groups.

Capabilities

What you get from Zoom Whiteboard

From a sticky note in a meeting to a diagram of the whole infrastructure — on one canvas

Sticky notes and text

Quickly write down a thought, label an area, build shared context. The simplest tool on the board and the most used one in any meeting.

Shapes and diagrams

An extensive library of shapes for flowcharts, org charts and technical diagrams: connectors, layers, containers and grouping.

Freehand drawing

Notes, sketches and highlights with a mouse or a stylus, and the board turns a crooked sketch into a neat shape by itself.

More than 250 templates

Ready-made starters for sprints, retrospectives, brainstorms, design thinking and strategy sessions — no need to begin from nothing every time.

More than 400 shapes for IT

AWS, Azure and GCP icon sets out of the box for infrastructure diagrams. You can upload your own icons and open them up to the whole company.

Kanban boards

A task board right in the meeting: cards move and get assigned as the conversation goes, and changes sync with Jira and Asana both ways.

Ideas from Zoom AI

Describe the task and the first two dozen sticky notes appear on the canvas. From there AI groups them by topic, assembles a template for the task and builds out a mind map.

A link to a past meeting

Type “/” and point to a meeting, recording or transcript — AI will turn what was said in the meeting into sticky notes, topics and a task list.

Boards in meeting rooms

Walk up to the touchscreen and draw — no laptop and no setup. It works on certified devices for Zoom Rooms, including Neat Board and DTEN D7.

On any device

The Zoom app on macOS and Windows, phones and tablets on iOS and Android, an ordinary browser and meeting room touchscreens — the board is the same everywhere.

Integrations

Content from cloud drives is embedded right into the canvas, tasks go out to your work systems, and the board itself opens from Zoom Team Chat, Microsoft Teams and Slack.

Management and order

Access by group and role, separate rules for external participants, ownership transfer, export and archiving, retention periods, usage reports, APIs and webhooks.

Scenes

Where it works

One canvas — different work: from an idea on a napkin to a diagram of the whole system

01

Brainstorming

A shared place for exactly the messy work that decisions come out of: sticky notes, sketches, pasted screenshots and images. Every participant's idea is visible to everyone instead of getting lost in the chat.

02

Diagrams and architecture

Org charts, processes and system architecture: the infinite canvas doesn't run out halfway through a diagram, and the shape library covers both a business process and cloud infrastructure.

03

Workshops and agile ceremonies

Sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, design reviews: timers, voting and templates are built in, so you can run the session without switching between apps.

04

Project management

The kanban board lives in the same place the team already meets. Tasks are updated as the conversation goes and sync with Jira and Asana instead of being rewritten from memory afterwards.

05

Working with clients

Kickoff meetings, workshops and reviews with the customer: the client has nothing to install and nowhere to register — they are already in the meeting, so they are already on the board. One board runs through the entire project.

06

Education

Lectures, practical sessions and tutorials on a canvas every student can write on. Personal boards give everyone their own space, while the instructor sees the whole group's work at once. Materials are saved and reused.
