Adding annotations while in a Zoom call is an excellent method for sharing your thoughts and working together with participants. Whether you are delivering a presentation or just jotting down reminders, using your iPad to annotate can simplify the task. This guide will show you how to use your iPad to add annotations during a Zoom meeting.
Step 1: Open Zoom
First, open the Zoom app on your iPad. If you don’t have it already, you can download it from the App Store. Once you’re logged in, you should see a list of upcoming meetings or the option to start a new meeting.
Step 2: Start a Meeting
To annotate during a Zoom meeting, you’ll need to be in a meeting. If you haven’t already started one, tap on the “New Meeting” button and follow the prompts to start a new meeting. Once you’re in the meeting, you should see your video feed at the top of the screen and a list of participants below it.
Step 3: Share Your Screen
To annotate on Zoom, you’ll need to share your iPad’s screen with the other participants. To do this, tap on the “Share” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. From there, select “Screen” and then choose which app or window you want to share. Once you’ve selected what you want to share, tap “Start Sharing” to begin.
Step 4: Annotate
Now that you’re sharing your screen, you can start annotating. To do this, tap on the “Annotate” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. From there, you’ll see a variety of tools for drawing and writing on your screen. You can use the pen tool to draw freehand, or choose from a selection of shapes and lines to add to your screen.
Step 5: Save Your Annotations
Once you’re done annotating, you may want to save your work. To do this, tap on the “Save” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. From there, you can choose where to save your annotations and give them a name. You can also choose whether to save your annotations as an image or a PDF.
Conclusion
Annotating on Zoom using an iPad can be a great way to communicate your ideas and collaborate with others. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to annotate during any Zoom meeting and share your thoughts with ease.
