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.

    Yes, Teams really needs this our engineering and design meetings need this. Please model off of Slack implementation of this feature, they do a great job.

    The ability for the person sharing their screen to enable and disable this feature should be included. Also, having an option to enable auto fading of the drawings or have them lock and be erasable via a button would be great controls for the feature.

    Please enable this feature! Without we need to continue using Slack, even though we don't want to.

    My company will not even consider using Teams without this one feature. Which is a shame, as my boss finds the rest of this product quite compelling.

    Please expedite this key missing functionality into the shared screen experience as it it truly deficient compared with competitors who have it.

    Hello Alex,

    Please! Its so frustrating when trying to help someone via screenshare to have to coax them to move the mouse a little lower, lower, to the right.... no the other right... up a bit, yeah there, now click!

    We use annotations extensively in Skype for Business today for interactive training sessions. This missing feature will significantly impact our training in the future.

    That would be super-awesome to have. I find myself phantom-drawing during screen share sessions and it is just not there...

    We are trying to remove Gotomeeting from our environment and this is one feature that is used quite often by our project teams. The sooner this is released the better. Thanks

    This is very important feature for design teams.
    Many other meeting/colaboration platforms have this feature incorporated.
