Webex: Annotations

How do I use the annotation feature in Webex?

To annotate over shared content in a Webex session, take the following steps:

1. On the bottom toolbar, tap or click the Share button.
   
2. On the window that appears, select the content to share and then click Share at the bottom. There are several different options:
   

                  1. Screen or Application.
                  2. File. Upload a file to the whiteboard.
                  3. Whiteboard
                  4. Camera.

 3. Once in sharing mode, hover over the toolbar at the top and select Annotate.

4. The annotation toolbar will now appear on the left side. Click or tap an annotation tool to get started. In this example, we will select the pen tool. If you are using a touch screen, you may use your finger or stylus to begin writing. If not, use your mouse by holding the left button down as you write.
