# Whiteboard

<!-- WARNING: THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! -->

[Zoom Whiteboard](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4410916881421-Getting-started-with-Zoom-Whiteboard) is a collaborative, persistent whiteboard that allows participants to share and collaborate in real time. The [Whiteboard](https://explore.zoom.us/en/products/online-whiteboard/) enables users to draw, write, add shapes and annotations, and more&mdash;making it a useful tool for brainstorming, presentations, and interactive discussions both in and outside of meetings. Whiteboards can also be used in Zoom Rooms.

Developers can use Zoom's [APIs](/docs/api/using-zoom-apis/) and [webhooks](/docs/api/webhooks/) to integrate Zoom Whiteboard functionality into their applications or platforms. Zoom provides a set of RESTful APIs that developers can use to interact with various Zoom features, including Zoom Whiteboard. Developers can create and manage whiteboards programmatically using these APIs.

Here's a general outline of how developers can use Zoom Whiteboard using APIs and webhooks:

## Zoom API integration

-   First, the developer needs to register for a Zoom API developer account and obtain [API credentials](/docs/zoom-rooms/s2s-oauth/) (API Key and Secret) from the [Zoom App Marketplace](http://marketplace.zoom.us/).

### Create a whiteboard

-   Developers can use the Zoom API to [create new whiteboards](/docs/api/whiteboard/#tag/document/POST/whiteboards).

### Manage a whiteboard

-   Admins can programmatically [manage whiteboards](/docs/api/whiteboard/#tag/collaborator/GET/whiteboards/{whiteboardId}/collaborator) by performing the following actions:
    -   Update the list of users who have access to a whiteboard.
    -   Change the level of permissions of users in a whiteboard.
    -   Change the sharing permission level of the document.

### Delete a whiteboard

-   Admins can use the [delete](/docs/api/whiteboard/#tag/document/DELETE/whiteboards/{whiteboardId}) API to move whiteboards to trash.

### Webhooks for real-time updates

-   Developers can set up webhooks to receive real-time updates about the [whiteboard activities](/docs/api/whiteboard/#tag/archiving/GET/whiteboards/sessions/activity/download/{path}) during the meeting. For example, the webhooks can notify the developer's application whenever a new drawing or content is added to the whiteboard, allowing them to respond or record the changes accordingly.
