Sharing Screen & Annotation during a Teams Meeting
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.
Has anyone figured out how participants can annotate yet? Betty2015
- I just made the move from Apple products (hardware and software) and have appreciated the Inter connectivity of the office365 products. Teams works great until I realized there is no annotation feature... I am new to this forum and apologize if this is posted the wrong way, but wanted to express my frustrations as well.
Agree, the only reason i have not switch from zoom to microsoft team as a online educator is the lack of the screen annotation feature.

I don't think upgrading is the answer. ... Teams is competing with Zoom, WebEx, etc. and they all have this feature. I've used most of them and Zoom's capability is pretty good. I use it a lot when demoing software or training. This should 100% be core capability in Teams. Period. You're not a credible provider of web conferencing / online collaboration without this feature.
