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.

    With remote working as a new normal, please bring this feature at the earliest. This is the only feature I am waiting for.

    THIS FEATURE IS A MUST OR MANY OFFICES THAT SHARE GRAPHICS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THIS APPLICATION.

    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.

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

    ok...how do we set up a screen in PP where participants can write on a shared screen???

    This would be a great collaboration feature for teams and Teams.

    I feel this should be one of the most inherent features these days ... I would like to see it in near future

    Good day, I was wondering if there is any development on the above suggestion. Drawing on shared screen would be awesome. Thank you.

    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?

    MS Teams is missing the ability to share editable whiteboards in a meeting helps a lot to engage the participants.

    I support this enhancement -- working in a virtual world without this functionality is extremely frustrating and sways our end users to seek to use a competitive vudeo product rather than Teams. We are running into this challenge on a regular basis.
