“Whiteboard becomes that space where all of the content of our communication can be linked and visualized – everything from a brainstorm session at the beginning of that workflow.” If you take a look at what Zoom’s whiteboard technology can do, I think you’d find yourself pleasantly surprised. And the whiteboards of today are way more advanced than we could have ever guessed. Smith said that it is the new and asynchronous nature of communication created during the COVID-19 era that prompted the UCaaS vendor to need to solve some of the world’s newfound problems associated with being in multiple timezones and locations.įeatures like the Zoom Whiteboard have become: “much, much, more central to the way that we collaborate,” Smith noted. It is the sort of meeting room solution that makes it simpler to do things like starting a meeting at the press of a button, finding the most optimal times to book a room, and sharing files, links, content, etc. The express goal of the solution – to facilitate real-time in-person and remote participant interactions.

Smith shed a ton of light on some of the intent behind many Zoom Rooms features, an offering that enables HD video collaboration in any space, be it a home office or a hybrid meeting. I had previously written about the Zoom Features that ‘Boost’ Productivity and wanted to build on that notion, as I realize there is a lot of value in what Zoom is doing to enable the future of hybrid work.

Last month I sat down with Head of Zoom Rooms, Jeff Smith, to discuss the solution’s capabilities more in-depth.
