Zoom has a built-in digital whiteboard for an instructor to draw on and share with students in real-time. Click the ‘Screen Share’ button and select ‘Whiteboard’ on your iPad.
Note: Give permission to Zoom to access photos on your iPad. If you have an Apple Pencil, you can connect it to your iPad via Bluetooth, or you can just use your finger to draw on the touch screen.
If you find it hard to draw with your finger, a stylus pen is also a possible option.
Using iPads and Zoom for Annotation
Zoom includes a built-in collaborative digital whiteboard that an instructor and students can draw on together in real-time. It works with a mouse, touchpad, or touch screen on most devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPad, but NOT iPhone). However, instructors who desire a more high-fidelity solution, for more intricate drawing and handwriting, may benefit from using an iPad and Apple Pencil with Zoom or other presentation software such as PowerPoint. This solution can replicate drawing complex figures on a classroom whiteboard or annotating over a slide presentation. Zoom for iPad has a built-in whiteboarding feature that works seamlessly with the Apple Pencil. Alternatively, you can open your PowerPoint or Keynote presentation on the iPad, then screen-share that to Zoom. QUICK TIP – You’ll want to make sure your Apple Pencil is fully charged and also correctly paired via Bluetooth to the iPad you will use to annotate ahead of time. QUICK TIP – These On-Screen Annotation instructions apply to both live meetings AND pre-recording video content.
The drawing and annotation can increase student engagement when viewing videos. Many instructors want to share the iPad as a whiteboard while also being able to simultaneously speak and see the students in a Zoom session. Join the Zoom session using your host login/ Onyen credentials from a laptop or computer Then join the Zoom session from the iPad as a separate device and select “SCREEN SHARE”
Use your computer and laptop for Audio and Video and iPad as a separate white board Log into the Zoom App with your Onyen Credentials and start your desired meeting

Using iPad as separate whiteboard in Zoom
Because it would be handy to have a separate device like that… — Charles Knight (@Charlesknight) May 1, 2020 One solution is to join the meeting from both your main computer and your iPad at the same time. So on the main computer start or join a Zoom call. Start Zoom on the iPad and click Join a meeting.
Ensure that the microphone is muted (or don’t join Audio). In the top right hand corner of the Zoom App select Share Content.
So start your favourite drawing or whiteboard app, I like using Paper by 53. I can use an Apple Pencil to draw and write and this will be shared with my colleagues in my Team meeting.
