What is Screen Annotation?

Screen annotation is a powerful feature that allows teammates to collaborate visually during screen sharing sessions. Here’s everything you need to know to use this feature effectively:

1. How to Access Screen Annotation

• Screen annotation will only be available once you share your screen with your teammates.
• Screen annotation will only be available when sharing the entire screen or specific monitor screens from the SoWork Desktop App.
  • ⚠️ Note: This implies that if you or a teammate share a screen from the browser version, Desktop with audio or just a tab or app, annotations will NOT be supported.

2. Key Features of Screen Annotation

1. Annotation Permissions
   • As the screen sharer, you will be able to control whether teammates can annotate on not in your screen.
   • You can toggle this option at any time during the screen-sharing session.
2. Color Coding for Annotations
   • Each teammate who annotates will be assigned a random color for their drawings.
   • This makes it easy to identify who contributed each annotation.
3. Annotation time limit
   • Annotations will disappear after a few seconds.
