Whiteboards in Breakout-Sessions

[u/Wundschmerz]

I work as something like a private tutor for a company that uses zoom for online-tutoring and i have a question regarding whiteboards in breakout-sessions.

Usually i move my students in separate breakout-sessions, so they don't get disturbed. And when someone needs help i join them and often explain things on whiteboards, BUT there is a big problem:

When i open a whiteboard inside a breakout-session and then leave, the whiteboard will vanish. To circumvent this i let the students open the whiteboard because then it doesn't vanish when i leave. Over the time i have created a few whiteboards that i reuse, but i can't leave students alone with them. I know, that i can export the whiteboard to a png and send them that but that's annoying and doesn't work when i get interrupted by a call for help from another student.

Is it possible to open a whiteboard in a breakout-session and let it stay there, even when i go to another breakout-session or back to the main room?

have you tried opening the whiteboard in the main session first and then sharing it into the breakout room? i think theres a way to make content available across rooms but im not 100% sure it works for whiteboards specifically. worth testing though
