Top 5 Surface Pen Tips For Productivity: 2021

[@demonfox2882]

Great tips AJ! Can’t wait to use these in my training sessions

[@AldoJames]

Thank you concon! Good luck with the training sessions. I recently learnt the Super Arm Super Set from my trainer, maybe you should add that to your sessions too?

[@s11salemhassan]

Thank you aldo for the post ❤

[@federicasher]

Great tips! Amazing video

[@TheMorgster]

Nice one Aldo. I didn't realise you had a KZbin channel. Great work 😉

[@AldoJames]

Hi Mike! Thank you 😊 I set myself a challenge during lockdown to see how long it takes to get monetized (1000 subs, 4000 watch hours) I've kept it very quiet and not really advertised aside from the occasional reddit post here and there. Hope you like the content :)

nice vid man very clear and professional

[@AldoJames]

You're welcome :) Thanks for leaving a comment :)

[@jonathoncapps4492]

Great information. I'm getting a surface pro X this week for work, and your videos have been great!

[@AldoJames]

Hi Jonathon, so glad I could help and congrats on the new Pro X!

[@lalafranz9127]

Thanks for this 🙂

[@AldoJames]

My pleasure 😊

I just viewed your Top 5 Surface Pen Tips, well done. Initially I am wanting to enhance my PowerPoint Presentations. Do you have other Tips than the one you told us in your Top 5 related to this specific topic? For example, is there a way while using PP in presenter notes view, of blacking out the screen from your audience, going into multi slide view and hiding a particular slide that you don't want to necessarily show your audience due to time restraints? Again, I would love to know any PP tips.

[@AldoJames]

Hey Mark, thank for the comment! I've added a PP tips & tricks with Surface Pen to my list of videos to make :)

[@FarzanasLaw]

AMAZING VIDEO!!!!

[@AldoJames]

Thank you!!

[@hamzasaidi4944]

Way to hit ur goals bro

[@AldoJames]

Thank you!!

[@genevievemamer5443]

For the second tip is it an extension you use to get the highlighters and pens?

[@AldoJames]

No extensions, it's all just built into the app Drawboard PDF

[@ronakbhagat2719]

Great video AJ, thanks for this. Will this pen work with my Surface Pro 5? Or which will be the best one to use? Are the pen compatabile based on Surface model or OS? Thanks mate :)

[@AldoJames]

Thank you! You should have a look at my other pen video I just released as it focuses on OneNote and Surface pen if you're interested. The best pen for the Pro 5 is the Surface Pen v4 but pretty much all Surface pens from Pro 3 upward work on any pro

[@ronakbhagat2719]

@@AldoJames many thanks for your advice.. your videos are always great to watch, keep it up!

[@aky495]

hello! im receiving my surface pro 7 today and your video helped a lot! just one question, what is the name of the pdf app you use? i would appreciate if you could give me the link to download it >

[@AldoJames]

You're welcome and awesome to hear about the Pro 7 purchase! here's the link to Drawboard PDF www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/drawboard-pdf-read-edit-annotate-pdf/9wzdncrfhwqt?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

[@aky495]

​@@AldoJames Thank you! I just tried it with my surface pen and it feels so nice as you said! Many thanks.

[@thevedicjourney]

Hi! Thanks a lot for the informative video. I am not able to see the ink beautification tool as mentioned by you. Is there a way to bring it up? I am using windows 11.

[@AldoJames]

Microsoft deleted the feature! Hopefully they bring it back but for now it's gone

[@thevedicjourney]

@@AldoJames Thanks a lot

[@shawnidm]

what app did you use for PDF annotation?, cant seem to find it now (or the symbol)

[@AldoJames]

The main one I use is called Drawboard PDF, they have recently updated their icon so it would look different to the icon in this vid :)

[@windyrainStorm]

For note taking like using One note, would you recommend the surface slim pen or the other one for Surface Go?

[@AldoJames]

Purely for charging reasons I would go with the Surface Pen v4. The Slim pen is really nice but you have nowhere to store or charge it with the Go so it'll run out of battery and be easier to lose

[@windyrainStorm]

@@AldoJames thank you, i tried taking note on my One note using the pen but how can I stop the sensitivity of my task bar when I take notes? I already checked the settings for palm rejection...

[@yungoji8639]

How do I charge it there isnt a pot and my computer doesn't come equipped with the magnetic charger

[@7220pom]

I noticed that you connecting your phone as webcam. Does it also work with Surface Pro X? I’ve been trying to use my iPhone as Webcam for my video conferencing ie Zoom or MS Team., but could not manage Surface Pro X to recognize the IPhone. Appreciated your advise / Sharing

[@AldoJames]

Hi Pom, I was just using my camera to record video but not for video conferencing in this video. You can join a teams call with you phone & computer at the same time and choose to have audio, video or both coming from your phone but you can't specifically connect your phone to a pc as a webcam. Hope this helps!

[@7220pom]

Thanks for reply, yes I know about joining both notebook and phone to conf call. I did try a few software like EpocCam, ivCam etc, but they all not supported Surface Pro X. Too bad.

[@NicolaJefferySykes]

Dear aldo, followed your video, but I have the same pen, however I cannot find how to change the battery to get it to charge, and on the surface pr x , despite other subscribers messages, it doesn't show the battery charge level. Can you please help me?

[@AldoJames]

Hi Nicola, have a look at this Microsoft link as it shows how to change the battery on all the different Surface pen models.support.microsoft.com/en-au/surface/change-surface-pen-batteries-aebc1082-c21c-c9ff-6e6e-9df029f17bb4 Hope this helps :)

[@henoch2579]

I can’t find the beautify tool on my new Surface Pro 7 do u know what might be wrong?

[@AldoJames]

Are you using the web or teams version of whiteboard or are have you downloaded the app from the Windows store?

[@jamieoconnell1648]

@@AldoJames I am having the same issue. I downloaded my version from the Microsoft store.

[@AldoJames]

@@jamieoconnell1648 That's so strange, I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you guys :(

[@Brandon-lc2yu]

what app are you using for annotating on the pdf???

[@AldoJames]

Drawboard PDF

[@SomewhatHonest]

Does your pro x have a tampered glass screen cover??

[@SomewhatHonest]

I'm trying to purchase just one pen . One I had ended up useless as soon as the tampered glass cover was applied :(

[@AldoJames]

Same, I had a glass screen protector on it but it made the pen and touch less responsive so I took it off

[@SomewhatHonest]

@@AldoJames so this combination worked . this tampered glass and surface slim pen are pretty smooth together imo www.amazon.com/Supershieldz-Microsoft-Surface-Protector-Tempered/dp/B07ZBHR4J4?pd_rd_w=tb9ku&pf_rd_p=6417b25a-ecb5-4bfd-95ec-9997de9c076d&pf_rd_r=E1JZ8MYMKZY6R5G42XTS&pd_rd_r=1d47aad9-2e30-47b9-8ba5-664faac8a9b8&pd_rd_wg=qTGk8&pd_rd_i=B07ZBHR4J4&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_m_rp_9_sc

Minute 5 I'll ready subscribe and like thanks can u do for surface pro 3 tips trick and accessories

[@AldoJames]

Thank you :D

[@adivoma7]

When I write with only my pinky touching the screen, the pen works as a finger. Otherwise in every other case the pen works fine. Is it normal, if not how can I fix it?

[@AldoJames]

That is so strange 😅 Not sure how to fix it but try going into you pen & windows in settings an turning on the option to turn off touch input when the pen is around and see if that helps :)

[@adivoma7]

@@AldoJames that worked, thank you so much

[@skilledgamer8]

Typing this on my surface pen.

[@AldoJames]

Love it!

[@alexlanninparkes1194]

Drawboard PDF refuses to successfully download. I've wasted a lot of time just trying to get it to open.

[@AldoJames]

That’s not good! Have you tried doing a system update and update the Microsoft store to see if it would work?

[@camilleri15]

What is your favourite bang for the buck pen?

[@AldoJames]

Hey Joseph, sorry I don't understand the question?

[@SomewhatHonest]

Which pen has a better bang for your buck? Which pen has the best usability for the price? Which was the best investment?
