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.

Can't agree more! We loved the drawing feature in SLACK, we have now moved to Teams but Teams lacks this feature..
This is the biggest feature we are missing. Very frustrating not to have it. So much time wasted "move to the upper right-hand corner...no no, down a bit, nope, over to the right..". Every single day.

Will this ever come off the backlog? We have users that do not want to give up Zoom or Webex just because of this one missing capability in Teams.

Can we have this as top priority. Reason being is there are currently available in Slack and Zoom, and makes it easier to communicate ideas

How is this on the backlog for 3.5 years? This feature is 1000% more useful than the "team" view for video chat. Or a "virtual commute."

Please hurry! I have to use Zoom instead of Teams until this feature is available.

I love Teams, and have rolled several organizations off of Slack and onto Teams. I would do it again in a heartbeat. However, I was helping an outside org person get into our system, and we did this via a Slack call. I accidentally used the drawing feature during the screenshare, and it was awesome. I literally stopped what we were doing and said, "Wow, that is so freaking handy". It would shave hundreds of hours off meetings per year.

Looks like "Microsoft Teams and PowerPoint for Business: Annotation support in PowerPoint Live in Teams and Slideshow" has started rolling out 👍 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=81966)

This should have been table stakes from the start.

One year later. Still not a feature.
It has been asked for years, and still hasn't been prioritized. Which shows MS really does not care at all about devs, their target are MS365-powered managers.

We set our whole company (50+ users) up on Zoom rather than Teams mainly because of this issue. Please keep us updated, if the Teams feature comes in soon we would move back but the longer we leave it the harder it will be to do!

Please use zoom to internally meet and workout a solution

The fact that this is on the backlog when it is a core feature that has been offered by other competitors for such a long time is just criminal. It just proves Microsoft couldn't care less about functionality and user experience, just gimmicky features to con people into using their product.
The absence of this single feature is essentially what is stopping the entire AEC industry from adopting Teams. Do yourself a favor Microsoft and crunch some numbers in the accounts department and see how many people this is and what it means in terms of dollars. If that doesn't make you reprioritize this feature and get it out asap then I'm not sure what will. -

This should not only be a drawing option, but also the ability to type text, is this being considered part of the design and solution as well? Thx!

Teams is starting to look really attractive, but without this feature it's a hard sell for me or anyone I know using Zoom to educate online.

This single feature keeps me from switching to teams (from Zoom).

This is a big reason not to use MS Teams.
As an IT Trainer, I want to have an interactive session, and being able to annotate is a big part of that. -
