Sharing Screen & Annotation during a Teams Meeting
DAmmar2370 - if you want to annotate whatever you're displaying, then my suggestions is DON'T USE TEAMS until MSFT fixes this issue.
Zoom's solution works really well, Webex less-so in my experience.
Whiteboard apps simply don't fix this problem except in the case where you want to use, well, a whiteboard. It doesn't let you mark-up something you're working on.
Microsoft really needs to fix this - I simply don't understand how they've missed this!
SE_TCH I agree with you.
Whiteboard works if you're working on a fixed sketch/design/blueprint but if you're looking at code repos on a shared call and want to highlight a function without describing the line and number of characters to the right, as an example, it gets frustrating.
Try software customer support where you're trying to bring attention to a certain checkbox/textbox/some other control where there are multiple instances on the page, 5 minutes later you've managed to describe what you're talking about. (Exaggeration)
Insert infinite other examples here....
Zoom works really well as does Slack, and it should be a basic feature.
We're trying to resist using Teams until this has been added.
