How to use annotation tools for collaboration and brainstorming If you do not have the annotation option, confirm that the host has not disabled annotation. Note: The meeting host can disable attendee annotation. Due to limitations with Wayland, annotation is only supported when a user is sharing their entire desktop on one display. Note: For Linux users, annotation is supported on X11. Prerequisites for screen annotation tools in virtual meetings You can also use annotation tools when sharing or viewing a whiteboard.
Meeting participants can add annotations while screen sharing as a viewer or the one that started sharing their screen. Zoom’s in-meeting product features allow you to add annotations on your screen during your video calls - a tool for remote teams to easily brainstorm and collaborate.
