Use Drawing Tools (Desktop App)

Participants can use drawing tools to draw directly on the shared screen so that the marks are visible to all attendees. This allows participants to highlight areas of the screen, draw attention to certain parts and generally illustrate their point. Organizers and presenters can allow only other organizers or all attendees to draw on the shared screen.

Use drawing tools

  1. Click the Drawing Tools button in the Grab Tab.
  2. Use the menu to select the desired drawing tool (pen , highlighter , spotlight or arrow ). You can also change the pen color, if desired.
  3. Click and drag the mouse over your desktop to start drawing on the shared screen.

    • When drawing tools are disabled for the user, the Check icon will disappear.
