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.

@Alex, do you have any idea when it will be brought forward as a formal roadmap item?

We are looking to move to Teams but currently the functionality of Teams is unacceptable around this requirement. I.e. the need to share a screen (not a blank or pre defined whiteboard) that may belong to either the presenter or another meeting participant, then for any party to be able to annotate (including freehand sketching / highlighting etc ) of that shared view.
ZoomIT is not acceptable as this has a Security risk due to the need to install 3rd party solutions and to also pass control (this may be to external parties). Installation of additional software may be impacted by company IT group policies.
During ZoomIT trails we noted issues with multi screen implementations and where screen resolutions differed significantly between the various parties.Teams is way behind the competition on this requirement.

Why is this still backlogged?

The ability to annotate and/laser pointer on during sharing is very useful for all sorts of training, technical support, design meetings, and more. The feature that allows this during PowerPoint is a good start, but most of my Teams meetings are sharing application or browser screens, not PowerPoint.

It is an essential feature and lack of this is forcing me to go back to Zoom for meetings. Given this idea is open for 4years, not having confidence of getting it any sooner. Is there a concrete roadmap from MS?

Idea logged Oct 26, 2017.... still nothing. :( Microsoft Is missing out on Millions of cash because of this.
Has anyone measured what this is costing Microsoft? not to mention their clients. -

Yes, please...please add this functionality. I cannot stress how much of a true need for this core feature. It makes a huge difference in overall productivity.

This is so urgent, hopefully will be implemented one day - we need to present to Clients have them mark changes on the shared screen

We are really in the need of this function, it stops us from using Teams efficiently. Thanks for a realization in the near future.

This is honestly one of the key things preventing our organization from using Teams over Zoom.

This is essential. This is one of Zoom's significant advantage over Teams. Please include this feature! Thank you!

Teams needs to add this feature to be competitive with Zoom. Zoom's annotate feature is an important feature for designers; until Teams includes a similar or better feature, Teams will continue to be a lesser product than Zoom.
