Zoom Whiteboards in Canvas

Instructors can create a shared virtual classroom space where whiteboards can be shared with their classes, giving students easy access. Zoom will automatically create a Whiteboard project folder for each class. Students have viewer permissions by default for course whiteboards. Instructors can click on the More button (three dots) to Manage Whiteboard Permissions and allow students to create and edit whiteboards. 

To access this feature visit your Zoom Meetings in Canvas and select the Whiteboards tab.
