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.

Thanks for providing the feedback. This feature is in our backlog. We’ll update when we have more details to share.

Still waiting.... most other screen sharing platforms provide this ability. Just can't understand why MS lets this hold them back. We'd use teams exclusively if not for this one missing feature! Let me know when it's ready and we'll fork over the $ otherwise it'll keep going to others.

This is a MUST HAVE. I use teams but just for chat because when we share screens sometimes we have questions and we need to be specific saying "hey what about this part?", that's why my main meeting provider is Zoom.

«A little bit up, not that much, down again. Left of that green button, no the other one, Ok never mind...» -Meeting participants trying to guide the mousepointer of the presenter. Sounds familiar? Please bump this up in the queue.

This functionality is already owned by Microsoft and is included in Zoomit. It also allows the capability of zooming the screen.

Must have function. Teams will never replace Zoom without it.

Without the ability to anotate, mark up etc it is nearly impossible to have a teletherapy session which is why I have to use Zoom. My district uses Teams and it is so cumbersome and hard to use with parents and students . This is a must have feature and ridiculous that it is not included

Our company is looking to replace Webex with Teams, but probably can't because of this function and then need for collaboration at this level.

Teams should not be a shared everything kitchen sink. Shared whiteboard should be in a different product.
Adding in every possible feature will make Teams unmanagable, make teams slow and use lots of memory.
Already, it cut my laptop battery life in half when disconnected from a power source.

Yeah - this is a must have - it's crippling the productivity of our shared Teams sessions

It's really annoying to switch from Slack to ms teams and not be able to draw on the screen in group meetings. Please implement this ASAP.

We're also finding it difficult to migrate from Slack and Zoom to Teams due to this limitation.

Our team will set up the meeting with MT and change back to Slack because it has drawing feature. Please please be quick, it is really helpful.

My organization considers this a "must-have" and is resisting movement away from Slack and Zoom because MS Teams does not support this feature and those solutions do.

This is really a requirement as Teams is touted as a collaboration hub for businesses.

The key is being able to do all of this simultaneously without having to pull in extra docs. Just a blank page (i.e. powerpoint slide) that can be marked up to make meetings more interactive. Also the ability to remove save markups and/or remove them (similar to PPT function) at once.
