How to annotate while someone else is sharing
If you don’t see the annotation tools, click Annotate or Whiteboard (with the pencil) on the shared screen main toolbar.
If you are the student who shares their screen and opens the whiteboard, you will get a toolbar that pops up on your screen.
Only one person needs to open the whiteboard and the whole group will be able to annotate on the shared whiteboard.
These will primarily be used in breakout sessions where your group will work together to solve a given task.
This will open a whiteboard that can be used collaboratively.
To open the whiteboard, click on the share screen button and then select the whiteboard option.
