During a session you can share your own screen or let participants share theirs. When a screen is shared, you can add annotations to this screen. This can be done on either a shared screen or a Whiteboard. In the example below the Zoom Desktop Client is used.

Annotation on a shared screen and sharing of a Whiteboard is only possible with the Zoom Desktop Client and not via the browser.
