RFast thanks for sharing your experience with the drawing tools.
Regarding Remote Control, the GoTo App supports remote control and Attendees can request control once the admin on your account enables the feature: How do I use Remote Control?
Thanks so much for your investigation and support Kate. Remote control doesn't solve this issue at all. The presenter needs control of the screen, while the presenter and all participants are enabled to draw collaboratively. Until this last update, we were still able to launch the old GoToMeeting App which enabled these features. We relied on these for hours every day. However, now the old desktop app (orange logo) will not even launch.
As an art fabrication studio, we cannot properly QC projects via shared photos/diagrams and troubleshoot design changes without the ability to have all participants draw (and select their own pen colors for clarity). What was once a tremendously unique application is now common and indistinguishable from the others. What a huge loss.
We hope this is reintroduced on a high priority basis before all visual professionals and others who relied on this service seek alternative applications. As our GoTo account administrator, I will be actively seeking alternatives within the week, as we cannot function without this.
