Annotations

During the recording process you are able to annotate your presentation or image by means of drawing, create pointers and writing on screen. This chapter explains how to do this.

  • To draw or write on the screen, a recording must first be started. Click the ‘Start Recording’ button
  • Now that a recording has started, you can click on the white pen icon on the right in the recording controls
  • A new popup opens with various controls for making annotations on screen
  • The pointer is enabled by default (see blue circle around the pointer)
  • Select the ‘Draw’ button to draw on the screen
    • This option allows you to draw on screen freely
  • Select the ‘Arrow’ button to draw arrows on the screen
    • Arrows on screen can be used to point something out on screen
  • Select the ‘Text’ button to write on the screen
    • This option allows you to add comments to what you are showing your audience.
  • There are various options to adjust your annotation:
    • Color picker: choose what color your annotation will be
    • Size slider: choose what size the annotation will appear
    • Clear: Clear all annotations from the screen
  • Finally we have the ‘Select’ option:
