Attendees can use the virtual whiteboard to make notes during the meeting. Any team using Zoom can access the Whiteboard feature via Zoom Call, Zoom Room, or Zoom Breakout Room.

Zoom Whiteboard is available to users across all plans. However, the Basic and Pro plans offer three editable boards, while Business and Enterprise plans offer unlimited editable boards.
