I think all your tutorials are just great. You’ve taught me a lot. Thanks.

[@TylerStanczak]

Simple and affordable. This is really great to know about. :)

[@marthamiller8542]

Thank you for showing how Epic Pen works with Teams and OBS as these are two products that I already use. Thanks again!

[@englishwithjon5397]

Thanks for the tutorial. You did a great job convincing me to buy the paid version of epic pen. This has changed my online classroom for the better!

[@VargasEric100]

First time i ever see one of your vids broder and man, rarely has it been so clear and easy in such a short time. Thanks for the amazing work, please keep at it!

[@gorgo2005]

This video has been most helpful in my getting the Epic Pen app to communicate with OBS and get through to my streams. My arrows need to be placed a little higher vertically than their target (horizontal placement is fine) and I see no way around that for now, but I'm much further along that I was before viewing this. Thanks!

[@khanhuzaibi9955]

Seriously this video is so awesome. Looking for this a few days ago and Kevin has read my mind and done a video of the exact thing I wanted. I am going to use the pro app. Wow Kevin thanks for sharing this. You are super awesome.

I don't know why I always like your video before the first minute

[@topgun302]

Hi Kevin, I like how your voice comes out of your videos. What microphone do you use and do you use a sound mixer for it?

[@manojpathania]

Which video editor u use for editing your youtube videos. Please make a video tutorial on this too.

[@dennisb683]

[@akshajsaxena5100]

Please upload a video on introduction to Scratch

[@kirachamberlain7808]

I am a teacher and our school just purchased Nearpod. Is there a way to use Epic-pen, so that my students can see the annotations while I'm teaching?

[@2023Red]

Super tool!

[@yuvrajsidhu4920]

Nice VID!

[@tahwnikcufos]

8:00 or just set your desktop background to a solid color sans icons, with a watermark in the corner of your channel name.

[@tanujasingh7184]

Can you make a video on Microsoft Power Virtual Agent

[@niketasvlahosz5977]

Hi Kevin! Have you experienced any problems using Epic Pen and SnagIt together? The SnagIt automatically selected an invisible area on one of my screens(I'm using three monitors). It was quite annoying and it turned out that it happens when the Epic Pen is opened/running in the background.

[@YOGAAF]

Mr kevin is my inspiration

[@Eddybars]

Great video

[@euhlaliaalexa2671]

Hi Kev, is there a way to change the font style in epic pen?

[@princessdiana5572]

it is awesome.

[@polymy]

PointToFix also works well, is freeware, has arrow drawing and is available in English and various languages.

[@zulqarnainchaughtai]

I wanna made video lecturer for my students using epic pen. I wanna use stylus for wrting purpose but the problem is when i write on screen stylus it creates noise, how to avoid those noises? Any tips?

[@arinanjum7820]

Your desktop wallpaper give so interest to me,where you can find it,pls ans

[@user-fz1oj4bf6p]

Could change to green background of board?

[@IKanFlyDrones]

I followed all the steps. When I draw on the screen i see the drawing, but nothing appears on the canvas. I have the epic pen window capture as the top source. Any advice?

[@davidadams421]

Nice. It's a shame Windows doesn't do this. I have a touchscreen laptop with an associated pen but Windows only seems to let me either snip&annotate or create written sticky notes. The drawing tools within Office apps are OK. Edge used to let me annotate on web pages, but this feature has disappeared since Edge moved over to Chromium. Nowhere can I see a method of just drawing on my desktop like this Epic Pen app appears to do. Am I wrong?

[@oninster84]

hi, aside from very limited quick colors, any idea how can we change colors while in ghost mode? pardon my english. tnx

[@MyFantasTechLife]

Hi Kevin, thank you so much for this idea of using epic pen. I just want to ask why the the writings cannot be seen in recording at obs. I also tried zoom, same effect, I can see the epic pen written on my pc screen but my guest in zoom cannot see the writings. I wonder why you are able to record the epic pen. What could have been the problem in my case. Thanks

[@MyFantasTechLife]

I followed everything in your tutorial, downloaded the epic pen, added the epic pen to one of my sources, then I added filter to the black screen by choosing black as my color key. The epic pen will only write on my screen. It can appear only when I screen shot. But will not appear on the recording and cannot be seen in zoom

[@bholari]

cool!

[@gittin_funky]

Would this work with a drawing board and pen instead of using your mouse to draw ?

[@ck1416]

Is there any annotation software that have vanishing pen function such as the one in Zoom?

[@GregFishel6986]

Have run into a problem. I'm using powerpoint, and I've used it in both window and display capture. When I use epic pen to annotate, over the powerpoint display, it works fine. Until...I want to resume advancing slides. In order to do that, I then have to select the cursor in epic pen, click on the powerpoint presentation, and then the slides will advance. Is there some way to keep powerpoint active even when I'm using epic pen?

[@JESUSTTT]

Kevin can you use on stream decks

[@jaminrahman]

Hey Kevin I use OBS studio to capture my excel videos with my cursor highlightor on. But after I finish my recording, when I see the video I can see my cursor highlighter pls solve my issue by replying to me P. S. I use the same highlighter as yours !!!!

[@pprangarao]

hi how can i write on PDF and word document using epic pen software? any tutorial please

[@InvestHealthy]

How use in iPad please tell me

[@userme2803]

The issue is how to draw with the mouse, which is not idea because it wont be good draw and be fast. Is there a pen (hardware) I can use to draw, like I am drawing on white or blackboard? Zoom, MS Word, Excel all have good drawing tools now. No need for 3rd party software. If you how do I use a pen to draw, I would appreciate the reply. I do not have smart phone, nor tablet etc. just simply old desktop with no touch scree.

[@artofverity8791]

Can it be used to annotate a Skype or zoom call without screen sharing?

[@gustavofranco6497]

obrigado

[@EdePC]

Check IPEVO Annotator, is very similar (and more powerfull) but full free

[@shaxzodziyadullayev9115]

Go, Kevin!
