Overview

Product Information on Zoom Whiteboard

Updated 13th October 2025

The software allows users to create, share, and interact with digital whiteboards featuring drawing tools, sticky notes, shapes, text boxes, and images. It supports real-time co-editing by multiple participants and offers persistent boards that can be revisited and edited after meetings. Zoom Whiteboard integrates with video conferencing and chat capabilities, enabling seamless brainstorming, planning, and problem-solving workflows.

“Zoom Exceeds Expectations With Their Native Whiteboard Applet”

5.0
Mar 6, 2026
This review will be geared towards Enterprise customers, and its author (me) has been a Zoom administrator for a large company for 11 years. Zoom Whiteboards can be considered best-in-class as a collaboration tool, with feature parity that meets and sometimes exceeds standalone whiteboarding tools. I think many vendors in the Unified Communications space lazily slapped in a barebones whiteboard functionality just to be able to say on paper that they have it. But Zoom went above and beyond in ensuring that their whiteboard experience was an advanced, easy to use, feature-rich, deeply integrated toolset. For existing licensed Zoom users with access to Whiteboards, if you're not using it, you should be. And for prospective Zoom customers, Zoom Whiteboards is an excellent factor to consider when evaluating Zoom.

“Academic Applications Possible but Limitations Affect Real-World Meeting Scenarios”

Base program works well, and collaborative features abound. Whiteboard may have some more useful applications in an academic or structured meeting context, however I've not found it to be more useful than other available resources.

Zoom Whiteboard Likes & Dislikes

Like

At its core, it is a highly accessible whiteboarding tool. I've seen even the most tech-averse users get quickly adjusted to it in large team activities. As a first party tool, it's incredibly easy to invite all meeting attendees in to collaborate on a board in-meeting, and to create and modify boards from both the Zoom app, mobile, and the web. But despite its simple surface, those who dig into it more will find an iceberg of deep features and integrations. Here are some of the most notable ones (assuming an Enterprise license). Unfortunately, I can't go into too much detail due to a character limit. -Admins can create and distribute Org-Wide Templates. There's also a wide variety of excellent templates built-in -Whiteboards work with a variety of Zoom Rooms Touch all-in-one devices (eg by DTEN/Yealink/Neat) -Supports flowcharts and mind maps, plus org-wide custom shapes -Includes frame features, with buttons to allow one to jump from frame to frame, which means you can make highly interactive experiences where collaborators can jump to different parts of the board for a variety of activities. Great for making something advanced like a C4 diagram, or creating gamified activities -Can function as a PowerPoint replacement with native presentation tools -Connects with Zoom's native Digital Signage, which runs on Zoom Rooms and standalone devices. This is huge! I have many offices set up with signage, and it was previously a serious pain to get people trained on uploading content to their monitors. But since a Whiteboard can be connected to signage now, people can live-update their signage via a board, so deployment of signage is now a cinch! -AI in whiteboards can generate entire templates from a single sentence, plus presentations, mind maps, stickies, and more!

Like

Easy to access in meeting and display to all participants. Quick to find past whiteboards and share as needed.

Like

It was a huge help when Covid came through and we were able to still do our meetings without having to meet up which actually saved us a lot of drive time especially when its the same corporate stuff that you hear in a month and ones out you know I mean, they couldve sent out an email to be honest, but you know they have to have a in-house meeting so that was the best way that they could do it during COVID-19

Dislike

It could use some tweaking, just like any tool. Zoom does fortunately update it frequently, and if you look at their release notes, you'll see amazing things get implemented on a regular basis. Here are the things I'd like to see. -Expand the Presentation functionality. It's fairly simple at the moment, and it's not capable of going completely fullscreen like a PowerPoint is. It could be an excellent PPT replacement if this gets fleshed out a bit more. -Make AI generation more powerful. Its ability to create templates and presentations (the most recently added features) is currently fairly rudimentary, so that could stand to be more intelligent. It would be great if it had more contextual awareness. For instance, if I could tell it create a presentation with a theme involving blue and gray triangles and outline all images with an orange outline of 4px thickness or something like that, that would be amazing. -I wish Zoom Workflows integrated with Whiteboards. Workflows currently integrates with Docs and Tasks, which is great, but there are many things I'd like to automate with Whiteboards. Though, given the visual nature of Whiteboards compared to the text-based nature of the other two tools, it may be difficult to implement workflow automation for Whiteboards. -The native Voting functionality in Whiteboards is a bit clunky. -Zoom Docs has the ability to automatically loop GIFs. I wish Zoom Whiteboards could do that. Currently, you have to click a button to cause them to loop. Though Whiteboards does integrate with Zoom Clips, which is really awesome.

Dislike

I don't really see a benefit to using Whiteboard over other collaboration tools. Only one person can edit/control at a time, so how is it different from sharing a screen and turning control over to another attendee? Just don't have a lot of use cases in my meetings and webinars.

Dislike

when having a meeting at times the audio wasnt working

    i’m using the Zoom app at the time when we were operating in. It worked pretty good for the most part. The only time that it became an issue was when sometimes the audio didn’t come in but other than that, it seemed like it worked pretty well I seem to be pretty happy

    Zoom Whiteboard Enables Real-Time Project Alignment for Distributed Construction Teams

    5.0
    Mar 2, 2026
    We use Zoom Whiteboard internally as a construction team to align on the different programs we have going on in the different regions. Because each program manager is working several locations at once, it helps us to align as a team to visually see what programs are near completion and what outstanding items there are. Whiteboard is also easy to share so we can all hop on a meeting together and work on the same whiteboard at the same time especially because our teams are global.
