“The goal is to allow users to access their Zoom Whiteboard and Zoom Meetings within the virtual Workrooms environment when this ships early next year,” Zoom said.
“With this collaboration, we aim to let people immerse themselves into the Zoom Whiteboard no matter what device they join from, all while in a Zoom meeting”
Zoom said that the newly launched whiteboard will enable seamless, asynchronous collaboration across multiple devices.
The partnership with Oculus means that users will be able to edit and save these whiteboards in virtual environments.
