Use of a laser pointer in screen share

Having the use of a laser pointer in screenshare within Teams, and the ability to switch between a laser pointer, normal arrow and drawing pen would be an extremely useful addition.

    Make sure the pointer is a capability available to ALL meeting participants and not just the presenter. This way if someone is sharing and having control others can point things out without control.

    i do remote coaching - it would greatly help collaboration if i could use a pointer to guide attendees on their screen

    Why are the same presentation options that are available for regular powerpoint multi-cast not available for teams presentation ?
    I want to be able to see the next slide, the commands, and switch to mouse, laser pointer, highlighter, and drawing pen on my screen, while the audience only sees a full screen presentation, the way I can in a meeting room with powerpoint beeing projected on screen...

    Please add laserpointer to point at anything during screen sharing

    Please add Laserpointer for guests of a Presentation.
    They'll need it, when they want to ask questions to the presenter.

    I strongly agree. The same as i Power Point. It would be much easier to draw audience's attention to something on a shared screen.

    I agree with all the comments. During lessons, I need to point some areas on my screen, and not being able to is frustrating.

    Totally agree, I can't believe that such a fundamental function is missing.

    Is this in scope how can we upvote this to get it added ?

    I agree, similar options to what are available in powerpoint would be awesome - laser pointer, highlighter and pen so that things could be circled or highlighted and then the ability to erase or delete either just some of the drawing and highlights or all of them at once.

    It would be super handy to have this on powerpoint slides too when sharing as slides rather than a screen share.

    I have a Logi laser pointer with a spotlight function that is VERY cool for presentations, but it also will not function properly when using PowerPoint to present within Teams. The slide "back/advance" buttons on the laser pointer also randomly change function when presenting. It's a hot mess
