    TWOSK Currently only the active presenter on the desktop app can use drawing tools, but our team is working on improvements to the feature. We will update the Community once we know more. Presenters also have the ability to pause the screen, this video explains how.

With the new version of GTM I am no longer able to give all my students drawing tools to draw on my screen at the same time. This was a vital feature when teaching class sessions.

Hi kreesbso and alyshamorlan, welcome to the community.

 

The drawing tools in the GoTo App are a little different from Classic GoToMeeting, instead of attendees drawing directly on the Presenter's screen we now offer Miro Whiteboard for collaborative sessions. Presenter's will see Miro as an option in the Screen Share menu, once it is launched they can add images etc to the whiteboard and attendees will be able to draw and interact. The Presenter is not required to have a Miro account and the board that is created in that meeting will be available for 24 hours.  If you want to save your board for longer you have the option to sign up for a free Miro account.

    Hi, GlennD  I am very unhappy with the new app. So instead of allowing attendees to draw directly on my screen, now I need make screenshots? If I move the view, I need to make a screenshot again? It feels like you made it more difficult and with more extra steps. Same applies to some other tools that I need to click twice, previously it was one click.
