Microsoft Teams: Meeting participants can request collaborative annotation sessions

Summary

In Microsoft Teams meetings, participants who are not sharing their screen can request to start a collaborative annotation session while a screen or window is being shared. The active sharer (presenter) must approve the request before annotations start for everyone in the meeting. Organizers and co-organizers can control who can start annotations via a new Meeting Options setting under Participation (Everyone (default) or Active sharer).
