Zoom Whiteboard review

Zoom Whiteboard makes sense mainly for groups that already live in Zoom. It sits inside the Zoom Workplace app, so a teacher or team lead can open a board during a meeting without sending people to another site. Zoom describes it as a place to map out ideas with sticky notes and shapes, and AI Companion can generate a mind map from a prompt. The free Workplace Basic plan includes 3 editable whiteboards along with 40-minute meetings for up to 100 participants. The weakness is that paying for Pro does not raise the board limit: Zoom's pricing page lists 3 whiteboards on both Basic and Pro, and unlimited whiteboards, custom templates and facilitation tools such as a timer, presentation mode and voting only arrive on Business. Workplace Pro costs $16.99 a month on the US App Store, which is a meetings upgrade more than a whiteboard one. For heavier board work, a dedicated app is better value.
