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 surprising that such an obvious must-have feature is not yet implemented.

    until this is done, we will probably not migrate from Slack, it is a deal breaker.

    Can anyone suggest a work around for this or suggested Teams app to add this functionality?

    This would be a Benefit for first line Workers and technicians in field. You could start a Video call and a support engineer in the BackOffice could give annotations - circles or arrows to the screen to explain a specific feature etc.

    +1 Whiteboard's frustrations with recurring meetings (or being able to import just standalone images) just doesn't cut it. We need this! Our team has turned away from Teams specifically because of the lack of this feature.

    +1 This would be an amazing feature, when you need to provide a better explanation of diagrams.

    We need this feature to effectively facilitate meetings, etc. Please add this feature ASAP and you will put a smile on your user's face!

    +1 for this. It would be awesome to have this feature added! Could really improve real-time collaboration across locations!

    This is the only reason we can't use Teams in our internal or external conferences and meetings. It is very essential for productive meeting.

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

    The lack of annotation is one of the reason we aren't using Teams across our company.
