Additionally, users can effortlessly collaborate across Zoom’s ecosystem of devices – web browser, tablet, desktop, or Zoom Rooms for Touch.
With Zoom Whiteboard, you can brainstorm and collaborate on a persistent, infinite, digital canvas within or outside of a Zoom Meeting. In-person and remote teams can ideate from Zoom-enabled devices, providing teams with the intuitive features you need to collaborate. Zoom Rooms users also have access to a dedicated Companion Whiteboard, the first purpose-built interactive touch display for advanced whiteboarding.
Zoom is raising the bar on collaboration with Zoom Whiteboard, to make the virtual experience even better than in-person. Zoom and Oculus are working together to offer a more immersive product experience, using virtual reality (VR).
Meta’s Horizon Workrooms is a new VR app that lets people come together in the same VR room for meetings, regardless of physical distance. This integration will bring Zoom Meetings and Zoom Whiteboard into the VR space using Oculus headsets to enable users to visualize their entire canvas without the need for a large screen.
