Whiteboard

Zoom Whiteboard is a collaborative, persistent whiteboard that allows participants to share and collaborate in real time. The Whiteboard enables users to draw, write, add shapes and annotations, and more—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 and 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 (API Key and Secret) from the Zoom App Marketplace.

Create a whiteboard

• Developers can use the Zoom API to create new whiteboards.

Manage a whiteboard

• Admins can programmatically manage whiteboards 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 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 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.
