Sharing a whiteboard
In the Zoom meeting or webinar itself click the Share Screen (bottom-centre of screen)
The little chevron next to it will allow you to decide who can share. In meetings, this can be the host or Everyone. In webinars, this can be host or host and panelists.
The main green button takes you into the share menu. Under 'Basic' settings you will see the option of Whiteboard - click this then press Share button (bottom right).
You will now have a Whiteboard you can draw on.
5. There are a number of annotation tools in the toolkit - drawing, text, boxes, eraser, reactions, etc.
6. If you or your participants want to annotate a different shared screen - e.g. a PowerPoint presentation - then instead of choosing Whiteboard in the Basic options above, choose the presentation and once you are in the shared screen use the annotate option from the bottom of the Zoom meeting screen.
7. The host can turn annotation on/off for participants in the security menu on the Meeting screen itself
