Ability for meeting participants to draw on shared screen
Participants in a a meeting with a shared screen should have the ability to draw (with their mouse or touch pen) on the shared screen. E.g. if a PowerPoint is being presented, participants would have their designated color to draw with (to distinguish who is drawing) and a mouse pointer in the same color. The could then point and draw for the other participants in the meeting to see. This would be similar to a whiteboard, only it would be for drawing on top of a shared screen.

Annotation is available with Dynamics 365 Remote Assist (Addon to Teams) via Hololens 2, Android and iOS.
However, Teams for desktop, RealWear, iOS, Android, does not have this feature.

We would use this feature very regularly at my work, would be extremely helpful for reviews and annotating content etc.

agree, this is an absolute must have - until such time MS Teams has no chance of hoping to compete with zoom or slack in this new work-from-home environment. I cannot fathom what Microsoft might be thinking leaving this in a backlog since pre-covid days...

Microsoft, you guys really need to hurry up. How can such a basic feature not be implemented yet? At least a laser pointer should be available. Microsoft Teams is basically useless for meetings about technical topics.

2020 the year with the most Online Meetings ever and microsoft has this garbage tool. Sorry but this is unacceptable.

The lack of this feature makes it almost unusable for me and my team. Because of this reason we decided to leave MS teams completely.

Hi,
This is too important as a feature to let it sleep in your backlog. No update for almost a year, you have lost a lot of customers because of that... -

More education establishments are using teams to teach remotely and the ability to annotate on a PowerPoint is essential! Please rush this feature!

Please do, this is really important for collaboration.
This is the reason we often switch to Slack, in case we need to share screen and collaborate -

Don't understand while these feature is not in progress?
We plan to migrate from Slack to Teams. This missing feature is the no one showstopper for developers. -

Almost a year. Any details to share? The pressure here to switch to Zoom is becoming bigger and bigger because of these kinds of features.
Using something like ZoomIt works, but is not the experience a novice user wants these days.
