How to use the Whiteboard in Zoom

hi my name is city and welcome back to the channel where we make educational technology easy for you in today's video we're going to be looking at annotations and in particular the whiteboard function within zoom so let's dive into it with another flipped classroom tutorial now using the whiteboard within a zoom meeting is incredibly useful but there were a couple of things that we need to be aware of and a couple of settings you need to be aware of so everything can run smoothly now let's start by first of all creating a zoom meeting now I'm going to go ahead and click on new meeting now as soon as that meeting starts you'll see here I have my screen and it's connecting and everything is getting ready to run now I'm going to join with computer audio and then I can start inviting people but the first thing I'm going to do is invite myself on a second device so I can show you some of the features of the whiteboard now in order for me to invite myself I'll need a couple of things I'll need the meeting ID and then I'll also need this meetings password so let's go ahead and click on this information right here at the top and then this gives me the meeting ID and the password so now I can jump on to the second device I'm going to go to join dot zoom us once on this page I'm going to input that meeting IDs click on join and then I'm asked to input that password so let's go ahead and put the password in there and join this meeting and I'm going to join without video there we go we're now waiting for the host to start that video now I'm going to start the meeting so down here at the bottom I'm going to admit this into this person into my meeting and we can now start having our zoom conference call now the first thing I want to do is I want to share a whiteboard and I want to quickly demonstrate something and just draw it out so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go to the bottom here and I'm going to click on share screen now what I'm sharing is the whiteboard so let's go ahead and click on whiteboard and let's share this whiteboard there we go we now have a shared whiteboard this is viewable on both devices and as I annotate or draw on this whiteboard the other person sees that as well however as I haven't changed any settings or haven't done anything the other person can also draw on to my whiteboard and this is sometimes a bit disruptive during a class so what you can do as a host is you can change those settings so let's go ahead and navigate to the top of our window and we're going to click on the three dots where it says more now here we have two functions that are very specific to this whiteboard we can disable the participants annotations but we can also show the names of the annotator so let's go ahead and take this on first and now as they are annotating you will see that all their names will show up on my screen as they are making their annotations this is incredibly useful if you are doing a collaborative project and you do want them to annotate and add their own information to your whiteboard great for brainstorming now during some sessions you'll want to disable this so let's go back to that more button and now let's disable participants annotations as soon as I click on that the other device will no longer have the option to annotate this whiteboard as you can see this person can no longer annotate and now even when they go to the top they do not see the option to request that annotation let's say that you've given your instructions and you've left some ideas on to that whiteboard well we can now re-enable access so now let's go back to the main window and we're going to open up the annotations again so allow participants to annotate as soon as I do that they will see that they now have those options at the top again so when they go to view options they can now select annotate as soon as they do that they can begin their annotations onto my whiteboard once again now this is a great feature for classrooms and as a host you have full control over who is annotating and when now at the moment it is only possible to either give every participant access to the whiteboard or nobody so you cannot select one student in particular to then annotate and then take that permission away I hope that this will become available in the future but at the moment I think the whiteboard is an incredibly useful tool that you can start using today if you found this video helpful make sure to scroll down let me know in that comment section below on your way back up make sure to hit subscribe and that bound notification so you can be notified future videos in the meantime thank you for watching and I will see you in the next one
