How to Enable and Use Zoom Annotation Tool [UPDATED Tutorial]

[@adamhussainart]

Thanks for this. How do I use the annotation bar when I share my Keynote powerpoint on a mac in play/slideshow/full screen mode. It seems I am not able to use the zoom annotation bar in this mode compared to when you share screen your powerpoint with the navigator bar on the left (as seen in your video).

Hi Adam, so sorry never tried with Mac. But as I know, the settings should be quite similar.

@@kenangwk Thanks for getting back to me.

[@kenangwk]

No problem Adam.

Hi! Any idea how to reduce/enlarge font size for Text annotation?

[@kenangwk]

Hi, at the annotate menu bar, there is an icon where you can format the text. It is round and usually it is only used to format color. When you click the Text annotation, that round color icon can be used to change the font size. Hope it helps!

Do we need to hold touch space with left hand and write with the right hand by holding the pencil if we r using laptop

[@kenangwk]

Nope. Basically just click on the function you want to use, and your mouse will turn into that function. Don't need to hold any buttons.

Do you know how to use annotations on the content from second camera option… it seems to be unable when sharing this option

[@kenangwk]

Hi, what do you mean? Camera options shouldn't be an issue, I think.

[@finessestocks]

@@kenangwk annotations seems to be disable when using the “second camera” option. Your example shows it when you share your screen. Do you know any way around? Thanks

How about when you’re only a participant and not the host of the meeting? Where can I see the annotation button?

[@kenangwk]

Hi, for participants, the Annotate button can be found by clicking View Options at the top of the Zoom window as showed here 06:20

[@jeevee9463]

@@kenangwk so I need to sign in in my personal zoom account? I used to just click the link given by the host, maybe that’s why I can’t see the “ annotation” in the view option?

[@kenangwk]

As far as I know, you need to sign in to your Zoom Account when joining a meeting

Zoom annotation is crap. Very clunky and awkward. I'd like to find a 3rd party annotation I can use with Zoom.

[@kenangwk]

You can use 3rd party annotation like what I did in 04:03. There are lots of Annotation tools. For example, I found this online, marketsplash.com/annotation-tools/. You can see which ones you would like to use.
