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.

So it's on the backlog since january 2020 - what does that mean in timeframes? When will this feature critical for us - (> 500 MS Teams Users) be available?

So we still dont have the 'Slack Killer' feature of drawing on a shared screen, but we do have 'Together Mode', a homage to South Parks animation style which serves no purpose and looks ridiculous.
Come on Microsoft, how hard can this be?

Most annotation tools available to participants are stamps, shapes, pen (2 size options, color options), and text. This is a key driver in engaging during a training sessions. :)

+10000000000 from my side to add it to teams

to Draw / Annotate in a Zoom Meeting
Step 1: While in a meeting, start screen sharing by clicking the Share icon in the Meeting controls and selecting a screen / program.
Step 2: Move your mouse to the top of your screen so that the Meeting controls appear and then click Annotate.
Step 3: Use the Annotate toolbar to draw lines and shapes over your screen. -

This is the biggest impactful feature missing in comparison to Slack/Zoom.

Please add markup to Teams. We continue to use Zoom because of this feature.

This feature is stopping teams from replacing slack. It is critical.

Just do it, sure whiteboards has overlap but give the people what they want.

We are having customers flee to Zoom or want to run Zoom meetings inside of Teams due to lack of this capability.

This missing capability degrades the interactive audience experience. We are transitioning from Skype to Teams and the absence of this feature is a disappointment. Any idea on an ETA since the idea dates to 2017?
