Why should you hide author info in Zoom whiteboard

Zoom is a versatile platform designed to facilitate seamless virtual communication and collaboration.

The option to hide author info in Zoom whiteboard allows users to maintain anonymity during collaborative sessions. This feature is especially useful in brainstorming or feedback-oriented environments, where participants can share ideas freely without any personal identifiers.

By removing author visibility, it encourages equitable participation and can significantly enhance creativity, leading to a more open and unbiased exchange of ideas.

Ultimately, it fosters a focus on the content itself rather than the contributor, promoting a more collaborative and inclusive atmosphere.
