Real-Time Screen Annotation During Zoho Cliq Screen Sharing

Real-Time Screen Annotation During Zoho Cliq Screen Sharing

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.


🔍 What We're Looking For:

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

🎯 Why This Is Important:

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


đź’ˇ Proposed Features:

  • 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

      On Android, I used to get notifications on my phone whether I was in the app, or it was started. Then about a month ago, I stopped seeing notifications on my phone UNLESS I had already started the app. So if I reboot my phone, and never start the app,
