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.

    We cannot fully embrace Teams without this feature. Our teams use it extensively on Zoom for huddles and other cross-office meetings.

    Sooooo disappointed that Teams doesn't have the ability to annotate on uploaded PowerPoint for presenters and participants. Whiteboard is also very disappointing. This is essential for me when delivering virtual training. Bring back Skype for Business!

    At one time SysInternals Zoomit worked - tried it without success with Windows 10 now. This would be a VERY FREQUENTLY used feature when sharing a screen or presentation.

    Can't believe this hasn't been implemented. This is a complete slow stopper for us migrating over from slack.

    Need Need Need, the lack of this feature when Teams is trying to play in the same space as Slack. So useful for pair programming, reviewing documents or generally help people.

    A request since 2017 and nada yet? Surprised. Need this after experience not having to say, "click that button in the top left... No, not the extreme top left, the one just below... Kinda looks like a post man... no... Three over from that one to the right...."

    Need this ability. Will use slack until this is available.

    This is a major competitive advantage to Slack, and one aspect of Teams that is delaying our adoption. Please consider adding this feature.
