Microsoft TeamsMeetings Hello Dears, Is it possible to participants to annotate on the shared screen during a Teams Meeting?

Thanks for the suggestion Mohammed_Al-Baroodi , but this really is not a solution. Say someone is sharing an infographic they are working on. .. you want to highlight some areas for improvement.
In zoom, easy.
In Teams, nothing.
MS has half-built a product that is well integrated with its other tools. This is not about zoom - it is about the fact that the users (simply can't do our job in teams). Even ancient old Webex does annotation, for crying out loud.
So, a message to Microsoft.
This feature is not negotiable for this kind of tool.

I figured out how to annotate in Powerpoint. Just share the Powerpoint as a window in Microsoft Team, not by clicking Browse and finding the file. It is till smooth and easy. MS teams detects there is a window, or a tab, open anyway.
You can access the annotation pens from the bottom left corner.
For me it does the job for the time being.

The issue with annotating in PowerPoint is that it allows only the presenter to do that. In WebEx and other tools the participants can annotate too, and also use the pointer tool - how can that be achieved in Teams? The whole point of meeting technology is to enable interaction between people and so far it seems that Teams is far behind in that.
