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.

This is why we're revolting against our companies plan to move from Slack to Teams. We're Architects and not being able to draw over the screen is like making us sit on our hands with tape over our mouths during meetings.

My organisation is half Slack half Teams, it would be 100% Teams if this feature was introduced!

This is one of the only things holding us back from exclusively using Teams in our company. Annotations on participants screens is crucial.

please make this function possible as soon as possible as it is crucial for collaborating with our customers. our ability to interact is significantly affected due to the absence of this function. we are working from home and appreciate if this could be made possible in the near future

GoTo meeting , Zoom, Slack these are the one I like using when doing anything like a technical review juste because of this feature which is quite often.Team is good for many things but sharing pictural ideas on the spot. There isn't even a third party addon to it... but even a third party won't do as you will then need to be logged with them and IT will not spread the addon and then nobody has it and then you are alone drawing something when everyone is bothered with popup screen about subscribing to something they never heard about and you shouting to them "clic on the 4th button frpm the lower right corner of the screen, not your real screen but the screen into the screen beneath the overscreen windows showing your meeting status that you have to drag away... All of that because a good request from a diligent user have not been answered 3 years ago.
have a great day -

When using the screen sharing feature in Slack users are able to use a marker no matter what application is being shared to point on the line or words they are talking on the screen. This is lacking in Teams.
Thanks

Still waiting.... most other screen sharing platforms provide this ability. Just can't understand why MS lets this hold them back. We'd use teams exclusively if not for this one missing feature! Let me know when it's ready and we'll fork over the $ otherwise it'll keep going to others.

This is a MUST HAVE. I use teams but just for chat because when we share screens sometimes we have questions and we need to be specific saying "hey what about this part?", that's why my main meeting provider is Zoom.

«A little bit up, not that much, down again. Left of that green button, no the other one, Ok never mind...» -Meeting participants trying to guide the mousepointer of the presenter. Sounds familiar? Please bump this up in the queue.

This functionality is already owned by Microsoft and is included in Zoomit. It also allows the capability of zooming the screen.
