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.

    Can't believe this hasn't been implemented. This is a complete slow stopper for us migrating over from slack.

    Need Need Need, the lack of this feature when Teams is trying to play in the same space as Slack. So useful for pair programming, reviewing documents or generally help people.

    A request since 2017 and nada yet? Surprised. Need this after experience not having to say, "click that button in the top left... No, not the extreme top left, the one just below... Kinda looks like a post man... no... Three over from that one to the right...."

    Need this ability. Will use slack until this is available.

    Teams is useless unless it adds annotation tools like zoom meeting and shared video with system audio. What's wrong with Microsoft????? This is 2019 and MS Design Team is still living in dark ages...

    Annotations needs to be broader than just PowerPoint. It should work from any shared app and mobile device to allow participation from any application.

    I'm not going to name names but there is a competitor that already has this enabled not only on PowerPoint but screen share as well. Oh, and from mobile too!

    We rely on annotation to effectively train our employees - please prioritize making this available in Teams.

    This is a major competitive advantage to Slack, and one aspect of Teams that is delaying our adoption. Please consider adding this feature.
