Annotations in shared content

Last Updated : May 18, 2017 |

Web collaboration provides various tools for annotating shared content, applications and screens, and a drawing on a virtual whiteboard. You can add text, lines, and stamps to the shared content.

A presenter or a moderator can annotate all shared content. A participant can annotate only on a virtual whiteboard.

The available tools depend on the content you are sharing. However, the icons are the same.
