How to Annotate Screen in Microsoft Teams using ZoomIt

[@KevinStratvert]

⏭ Here's a playlist of all my videos on Teams: kzbin.info/aero/PLlKpQrBME6xJ4Mxv00syl8iOSgL-GVLMG

[@wafkt]

I appreciate the videos on free and useful apps and add-ins for Windows and Office. There’s too many to search out and test for one’s self. Recommendations and tutorials are always a great way to learn about them.

[@cbelair65]

Excellent presentation Kevin. Easy to follow and I'm all set!

[@sdl9258]

Presentation with colours remains interesting & exciting. Useful in teaching.

[@shoreline9201]

Thanks Kevin - your videos are very informative and clear. As a teacher I appreciate it

[@davidingham2216]

Excellent video. A surprise that MS doesn't include this functionality in Teams as standard

[@KevinStratvert]

I'm sure it'll come at some point. Right now it's just another feature request on the backlog.

[@ryanlawrence8522]

Agree we have to bear in mind the rediculous number of other requests still in the queue

[@JonathanNeilRhodes]

@@KevinStratvert Should be at the front of the backlog :) Annotation is a basic requirement for meetings.

[@radekou]

@@JonathanNeilRhodes Fully agree. I imagine that if I asked MS to build me a house, and found out there are no windows, they would be like "submit an idea to our community and ask others to vote it up". :))

[@KevinStratvert]

@@radekou agreed, hopefully it gets done soon. ha, nice example with the windows. Although it turns out that it's also missing a bathroom and a kitchen. Which one do you start with? 😁

you are best teacher keep it up

[@coolvicky2301]

Super helpful and crisp !!

[@lilyshiri6540]

So practical and easy to understand! AMAZING!

[@joshdick75]

I enjoy your videos and share them regularly. Can you update to cover annotation in Teams now if you are still making videos.

[@alicegivana]

Awesome, I enjoyed listening to you and learning from you, clear and to the point.

[@lzz3202]

Thank you, you saved my life.

[@Adrianong1984]

Your video are so informative and helpful and i always learn new things in Microsoft from you. Can you do more tutorial on Power Automate?

Very informative. Thank you

[@denizgezen4644]

Great video thanks

[@notsowimpycoder3113]

this was a good video kevin. i would request you to make a video on how to integrate kahoot with teams and how to go about assigning an assignment using kahoot.

[@mamatayogi6920]

Omg lot of thanks

[@mehediamin3552]

In zoom you can annotate on top of the presenter's slide. This is critically important in education - as a teacher can draw on student's work. I can't find any such tool even 3rd party-wise for ms teams

[@ТаняНиколова-т8л]

Thank you! That's really helpful.

[@zecaldeira]

Thanks for your video, it's really a good tutorial on how to use this tool. Wondering if there's anything similar to highlight the mouse cursor? I think you're using the OBS functionality, I would like to have something in Teams to allow do that as well.

[@eirazeas]

Thanks!! This video is awesome! 😊

[@kamalamalarm]

Thank You So much for ur knowledge sharing Sir

We need to have a semi transparent grid overlay when sharing screen. Audience tries to tell present were to click but they can never find the right spot ! A numbered / lettered grid would be a big help.

[@twins2amz727]

Very informative.

[@shashwat7793]

Can you make a video on adding the assignments on microsoft teams to microsoft to-do. For students

[@KevinStratvert]

I'll add to my list of videos to create. I'll need to do some research. Thanks!

[@zonbelle]

@@KevinStratvert I would rather find an easy way to share weekly/monthly calendar, including due date assignments - A calender only the teacher could change. (It's so easy on google class)

Awesome video. 👍

[@andrewdove2303]

Kevin, when I try this ZoomIt with Teams it works on my screen but participants cannot see the annotations. I am doing this with Excel 365. Have you tested this out as a participant in Excel? Thanks

[@dorostsissios7996]

Thanks Kevin .Very helpful for teachers now that we have to teach online. There seems to be a problem when i try to change the language to type in greek. Only numbers and symbols work but not the letters. Is there a way to type in greek?

[@paulallen5321]

Kevin - Almost a great video, I tried to use it, with a live camera running and the CTRL +2 draw mode freezes the camera? how can I draw in a powerpoint window and run a video in teams?

[@rivik1987]

Hi Kevin, Thank you so much for this video. I’ve tried the ZoomIT app and these functions are really cool. I have one important question: is it possible to use multiple functions one after other without having the previous one disappeared? For example: drawing tool and inserting rectangle tool. My problem is that after I press Esc to change from an annotation tool to another one, my previous annotation disappears though it would be more practical to keep them all. If ZoomIT does not allow it don’t you know any alternative app that does?

[@mohammadkhalaf2020]

Thanks so much 🌹 🌹

[@sylwiazientek5182]

Hello, is it going to work with a stylus instead of a mouse?

Thanks for this!

[@norhishambontak8848]

Hi Kevin, can the participant do the annotate at the screen, so that the presenter and others participant can see the annotate tu

[@zahra.bsajan2455]

Hello. I downloaded Zoomit. When i run it i get an error msg. SysInternals screen magnifier has stopped working. I am on windows 7.

[@rickphillips381]

Hi Kevin, I watched your KZbin video on OBS. Is that the program you used to created your videos? If not, which program do you use? Thank you

[@frankindude]

Well done :-)

[@christianmarasigan981]

It works well on my presentation specially the draw apps but my students cannot see what I draw on the screen can someone help me with this. Thanks

[@es9511]

There’s ALWAYS something useful and new in every video u make..this one is a lifesaver for me as a teacher ..THANK YOU KEVIN

[@EduardoSanMartinp]

doesn´t support pen stlus or tablets, just draw mouse click. frustrating was so perfect to be real

[@jasongu80]

Thank you so much for making yet another fantastic video! Love your work! You are the first person I subscribed to on KZbin . You make my online teaching job much easier. I am promoting your channel to all my workmates.

[@angelab4999]

Does anyone know why, when I use this annotate tool in Microsoft tool when I'm screen sharing, the people I'm screen sharing with can't see what I'm doing?!

[@thiagottsss]

I didn't test it but I suspect you've shared a window (application) instead of the entire desktop.. as ZoomIt is another application, people won't see it if you are sharing only the window for "powerpoint.exe" for example..

[@khaledeldaleel6221]

Great video, but its missing the fact that annotation is used to engage participants, so that THEY also annotate not just the presenter. Is there something that we can do about that untill this feature is activated on Teams?

[@KeysOnfireByAPSRathore]

I am biggest fan of yoy Kevin! Plz heart this comment...

[@myrtagroeneveld1722]

How can i use my draw tablet with zoomit? great apps but i cant annotate with my drawing pencil

ahh... Mark's Sysinternals ZoomIt... using it since Windows XP... ;-)

[@carlaizabellcabrera3183]

Hi Kevin! Can all the participants view each other's annotation? Just like in Zoom? I'm planning to use it as an activity for our team. :)

Can you please help students to teach some hacks plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[@essentialbiomechanics9381]

Excellent tool! Thanks for sharing this tip Kevin! Can I use it with a digital table? It's not working for me. Tks in advance for your attention.

[@moodberry]

Hi Kevin, The biggest problem I have is knowing exactly what the other members see on their screens. Of course, when I present (with the up arrow), they see the same screen as me. But I typically have a two screen setup, and what can I do if I wanted to annotate on the "non-presenting" screen. That is, suppose I am not presenting, but I am speaking to the group? Can I annotate, for example, draw a mustache on one of the other members? Annotation only works when I am the actual presenter, right?

[@MamtaNarula]

Kevin Please find some solution so that I can use my wacom pen with zoomit,pleeeeeeeese

[@samanthanixon5367]

Thank you so much for this super helpful video! I am a speech therapist who had previously used annotate with Zoom for my therapy sessions with elementary aged students with much success and now needs to transition to Teams. If I have ZoomIt running and share my screen during a Teams meeting, can I give control to a student so that they can annotate on the shared screen or will I be the only one who can draw or type on it?

[@noxplayer-rt9tj]

By attaching the "StrokeIt" program to ZoomIt and configuring mouse gestures as key combinations, e.g. CTRL + 4 as Z, etc., you can control zoom, drawing ("CTRL + 2" as D), color changes (keys R, G, B, O, Y, P ) only with the mouse.

[@RagnarVonLodbrok]

Used this for years. My pointing at my screen is one-way communication. We NEED dialogue! Participants need to be able and interact/annotate. The "request/give control" is a dirty fix.

[@zonbelle]

like making Teams a real LMS

[@RagnarVonLodbrok]

@@zonbelle no, an LMS has entirely different requirements. But i get what you refer to. Teams can, and should, be able to be used for knowledge transfer and maybe more so for collaboration.

[@zonbelle]

@@RagnarVonLodbrok Thansk - I know... But we are forced to use Meets for teaching

[@DavidPowellAU]

@@zonbelle @Ragnar Von Lodbrok Yes. Microsoft Education aspires to gain traction in the education market through its offerings that include Teams. The sense is strong that we're offered a range of tools with potential for learners rather than a system to manage learning. It's a headache to handle the dual taxonomies of Class Notebook with its OneNote-based section group hierarchy and Teams with its channels.

[@zonbelle]

@@DavidPowellAU Yes, a real headache the class notebook - I have stopped using it. Maybe useful for very large groups (100 and more)... which I hope I will never have

[@noxplayer-rt9tj]

zoom (ctrl+4) works in OBS if the source is "Screen Capture". DOES NOT work if the source "Window Capture" -drawing on the video STOPS the image (but the sound continues to go on KZbin)

[@adhideva9054]

I cant get the raise hand option on my laptop there is no option please reply

[@zonbelle]

Yes, a recurrent problem for teachers.

[@kentroy6595]

Hi, thanks a lot for your valuable information of your video and help us. I would like to ask you about an ERROR I got. I put it on the file START and everything the program ZOOMIT starts I got an error CONFIGURING AUTOSTART. ACCESS DENY. Do you know how to solve it? Thanks a lot for your answer.

[@howtodostuff1244]

Hi Kevin, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I'm having with Zoomit and OBS. when I am recording my desktop or whatever page I have open with OBS and use the "live zoom" feature of Zoomit, OBS goes blank, that is to say that it records a black screen for however long I am using the "Live Zoom" feature. If I use the regular "zoom" feature from Zoomit, OBS has no problem recording the zoomed image. Also I tried using the windows magnifier feature while recording my screen with OBS and it does the same thing, it records a blank black screen . any Ideas on how to solve this conflict? thanks in advance.

[@jthompsoniii]

I've successfully used a ZoomIt/Mouse combination during MSTeams. I wanted to make my annotations more precise with a ZoomIt/Wacom pen/tablet. ARGHhhh ... ZoomIt/Wacom/Teams is an incompatible solution. What product(s) may I use to increase legibility and precision while marking up Teams meeting screens?

[@naglaa99]

Excellent ..please I want a video on how to block people in Teams after adding them, or an intruder who has not been added .to prevent from sending messages. Thanks

[@CyberMedics]

Have you had any problems with the cursor disappearing after exiting the tool? This happens and the only way to correct it was to shut it down.

[@ajaybudhathoki9297]

@Kevin Stratvert while presentation through MS Teams, 'm unable to use zoomit. For Ex - I can use the zoomit, on my screen, but the same is not visible to others in Presentation Please suggest me...what can I do in alternate to Zoomit during presentation in Teams???

[@BackFromTheMadeUp]

These little, until recently unheard of companies provide a rich annotation experience in their apps, but apparently that is well beyond the reach of the largest software company in the world. Been forced onto Teams after previously using Zoom. What a stinking pile of garbage. Why is everything MS does just so appalling? Just buy Zoom and integrate it!

[@sunantagunawan1924]

Hi Kevin, I have aproblem with using ZoomIt during Team Meeting. The annotation only appear for other meeting participant if I share my whole screen (not share a window). How to resolve this?

[@mustafamerttanoglu-testcha6597]

Very helpful for my PC and I kinda think no risk in my PC. I didn't tested and acted it out, I didn't seen more traditional ways to annotate PC screens than yours. I want to see Microsoft Teams but no Microsoft Teams annotation tools that I know. Please teach me more traditionally in your very own new video but not in your test channel. So, I use OBS to connect my very own PC screen freely. But when I'll block the content, sometimes a website cannot worked with the best experience. I think I answer with that sounds good message while someone asks me like come on, watch this video message.

[@SangoManju]

ctrl + 2 = draw b = blue r = red p = pink g = green o = orange y = yellow t = text ctrl + shift = arrow ctrl + z = erase last entry ctrl + scroll = size of line e = remove anotations space = bring tool to the middle ctrl + left mouse = rectangle shift + left mouse = straight line tab + lest mouse = ellipse ctrl + shift + left mouse = arrow w = white sketch pad k = black sketch pad esc = exit

[@miprofetic]

I am trying to help school therapists to work on Teams, but the interactivity in Teams is still limited. Thx a lot for this video.

[@professordavid2008]

Hi Kevin. Congratulations on your success with KZbin full time! I’m concerned about potential bullying in Microsoft Teams as in a secondary school teacher. Is there a way that students can mute others in chat?

[@hazelschafer1950]

Kevin I am wondering if there is a way to have a running balance in MONEY IN EXCEL, since it is programmed so you can't change anything.

[@cominginsecond]

So you obviously can't draw on other people's screens, like Slack, right? What a huge letdown that Teams doesn't support that.

[@fatahiyakashif8199]

It works well with mouse but I could not use my HUION pen tablet with zoomit app. Can you suggest an app for my pen tablet which I can use in my presentations?

[@ML-ph5bo]

Does the Teams architecture allow for the annotation of someone else's desktop? Oh, for the 'magic' of being able to sketch a mark that fades over a user's shared desktop to point out an error in what they're sharing. Without that level of interactivity, Microsoft is ceding the future of collaborative work.

[@Omastormy]

ZoomIt does not work when presenting in Microsoft Teams. The presenter can see what's being done, but the audience can not. I suppose you can mark it up when creating the PowerPoint, but that doesn't allow me to show emphasis to my students when I am presenting in Teams, and there are easier ways to show drawings in ppt...paint for example...

[@KevinBuchanan66]

Great video!!! Very useful! I’ve started using ZoomIt in teams meetings, and everyone wanted to know “how did you do that??”

[@usaratthawornchaisit9855]

Easy to follow. I did get annotation tools and use them with ppt while teaching online using Teams. The problem is that I can annotate the screen (highlighting, writing, etc.) but my student view did not see the annotation on their screen. How can I solve the problem?

[@elizabethmefford7200]

Does this work with a tablet and pen? I need to write on PowerPoints in my virtual class. My biggest problem is I can’t tell where my pen is located to start writing. Mine only shows a tiny dot, not the bigger circle like yours. How do I make the tiny dot bigger?

[@melissadischert7105]

Do you know if I can annotate if someone else is sharing their screen? I am a virtual trainer, and sometimes trainees will share their screen to the class while I walk them through. Just wondering If I could still annotate to assist, thank you!

[@scayz1966]

Hey, can you help me wtih the windows 10 thing? I installed it and waited but after that it said it failed in the SECOND_BOOT or something.

[@ridewarrior9917]

i have successfully downloaded it. But everytime I annotate my screen... the other audience do not manage to see my annotations. Why did I do wrong?

[@nabaputri1910]

My school used Microsoft Teams for online classes, and i always watch ur video, its help me alot to make my class more fun. Thank you😁👍

[@pepjasupe8327]

I think the best solution to annotate to microsoft teams is to allow screen sharing of ppt in normal view that the guest can see only the acitve slide...the presenter can use drawing option in ppt in that case with lots of pen oiption sizes and colors...this is useful for teachers with stylus pen laptops like surface pro....presenter mode is only for just presenting no annotation...

[@bkafrick]

So this will only work if you’re sharing desktop, right? If you try to share an application, it won’t show to others?

[@BurOnOz]

In annotation mode, I can draw only with mouse. When I tried, surface go pen, it is not working, what can be the reason?

[@patriciailer2872]

Tried it today and I could see the drawing but the class could not!

[@itcw2024]

Depends on what you are sharing i think. You have to share your complete screen so the participants can see.

[@r.daniellechekaraou4910]

How can others with whom you are sharing your screen add annotations during a meeting? Is that possible on Teams like it is on Zoom?
