How to Annotate Screen in Microsoft Teams using ZoomIt

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

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.

[@lewisanthony6881]

hey Kevin , I am a civil engineering, was not much into softwares , but your videos are helping me to learn so many new things , I just want to thank you for all your videos

[@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

[@rajeevpatil6291]

Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

[@KevinStratvert]

Thanks so much Rajeev, that's very kind of you! 🙏

[@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? 😁

[@celinacosta4529]

Thanks! Your videos are always so professionally done and easy to understand.

[@HT2BenimFutbolcum]

This video is so helpful, but I can think more traditional video from you along with Microsoft Teams screen annotations. This video is more traditional way to learn annotate your screen while using Screen Sharing choice. I think this looks good. All your tutorials is the best one of the step-by-step tutorials for beginners.

[@HT2BenimFutbolcum]

Kevin, please save your videos from uncommercial viruses, other malwares and other spywares. I kinda like this video.

[@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?

[@lorihurni9683]

Amazing. You just made my job easier. I'm sharing link with my coworkers. Thx.

[@billj8968]

Thanks so much Kevin - yet another brilliant video (your videos are so great I subscribed from both my accounts!!) - I'd love to see more plug-in applications/extensions for Microsoft platforms - always on the look out for these useful plug-ins! You should have a quiz via Forms on what we'd like to see next.....or not! Have a great day Kevin!

[@PerfectlySimpleCoUk]

Yet another great video from you Kevin. Thank you. Do feel a bit conned though. Video title made me think the annotation features were in Teams. My employer does not allow instalation of third party tools on their PCs.

[@KevinStratvert]

Yeah, unfortunately Teams doesn't yet have native annotation tools. Depending on what you're sharing, the app may have annotation tools. For instance, both OneNote and PowerPoint have native annotation tools. Hope that helps!

[@joshdick75]

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

[@nidaamarrash943]

thank you so much! do we to go to the application each time we want to use it? can we annotate and zoom in in the same time?

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.

[@iamdhruvinshah]

Can you please make a video if there is any way to remove wind sound from teams audio settings?

[@KevinStratvert]

what type of microphone are you using? I don't think there are built in filters for wind noise in Teams. Generally, fixing the issue at the source is most effective (e.g. use a wind shield on your mic).

[@norahhutabarat9201]

this is so helpful!!! thank alot Kevin!

[@awadosman4499]

Fantastic video mate. We recently migrated from Zoom to Teams and I have been struggling with the lack of annotation tools. Why doesn’t Team have it?

[@bobbybenj]

Nice video! I wish someone would make a video on How to Annotate Screen in PowerPoint using Zoomit.

[@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?

[@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..

[@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?

[@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. :)

[@samschannelish]

Hi Kevin, this is a fantastic presentation-tutorial of a great tool that I have been dreaming of but haven't had the time to see if it existed. Thank you. But, a question: why can't I find/use my mouse pointer/cursor when in the timer mode?

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?

[@mohitmaddyscorpion]

Hey Kevin, recently subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing these videos, these are really helpful. One thing I like about your videos is that you cover generic questions that we as end user seek answers for. I have been wondering how to annotate screen in MS Teams, and this video would help me a lot. However I have one question, can I annotate a screen that is being shared by other participant over the Teams meeting? Zoom allows the annotate feature within the app, I just wanted to check if ZoomIt would allow the same in MS teams meetings? OR this only allows to annotate over the screen I share myself over Teams meeting but not other participants?

[@angelakephart2000]

Hi, I am also looking to be able to annotate a screen that is being shared by another participant. Did you get your answer?

Any options for MacOS users that can't get Zoomit???

Is there a way to annotate in the video editor that makes the annotation part of the video? Thank for the videos they are awesome.

[@KevinStratvert]

You can annotate in a video editor, but not using this tool. I personally use PowerDirector kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6jLl4eZadp-b7s and it supports annotations in video, although that's a topic for another video 😋

This is something that Microsoft, obviously, needs to add. Especially since many if not most corporations prevent you from using any "free tools."

[@sherineverma]

This is good for the teacher/presenter to annotate, but I would like to know if MS teams supports annotating for the students or the participants to draw while the presenter is sharing their screen (which can easily be done in Zoom)?

I would love to see a video on moving data from Excel to PowerPoint. I have every big excel data sheet with loads of different fields. The idea it to auto sum each field to reflect in the PowerPoint as well. When I use auto sum in excel the first field works then I select the next category and do the same it does not update anymore. So I filter items and next to that field is how many items i have in stock. I want to filter an item in excel and then every time I update the file I want the sum to appear in powerpoint. This must work for every item. Is this possible?

[@michaelputnam2532]

I don't know how much general interest there'd be, but a video on using one form (or multiple forms showing simultaneously?) to fill in multiple SharePoint lists would be interesting. A follow up video on using Power Query to read/analyse multiple SharePoint lists could be useful. I keep running into SharePoint lists that would work much better as multiple flat files (ex dates, rooms, meetings, attendees), but you'd need some sort of combination form for most users to easily enter the data.

[@KevinStratvert]

Thanks for the suggestion Michael, I'll add to my list. Cheers!

[@usaratthawornchaisit9855]

[@HT2BenimFutbolcum]

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.

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?
