Hi Zoho Support Team,
Hope you're doing well.
We’d like to request the addition of real-time screen annotation tools during screen sharing sessions in Zoho Cliq video calls.
The ability for the presenter—and optionally, other participants—to:
Draw freehand using pens or highlighters
Add shapes like arrows, circles, rectangles
Insert text callouts directly on the shared screen
Use undo/redo/clear actions
Toggle annotations on/off as needed
Zoho Cliq's screen sharing is solid, but lacks real-time interactivity. Annotation would:
Enhance collaboration during support calls, trainings, and walkthroughs
Speed up issue resolution by allowing agents to circle or highlight elements on the user’s screen
Improve engagement during design reviews, brainstorming, or team meetings
Match modern expectations—most major platforms (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams) already support this
Pen & Highlighter Tools – multiple colors and thicknesses
Text Boxes & Shapes – arrows, circles, rectangles
Undo/Redo & Clear All – intuitive annotation control
Permissions Control – allow host to enable/disable participant annotation
We believe this feature would make Zoho Cliq far more powerful as a collaborative workspace—especially for support, training, and feedback-heavy workflows.
Thanks so much for considering this enhancement. Please let us know if this is on the roadmap or if there are any plans to support it soon.
Best regards,
Ram Freedman
