**Description**  
My student (guest) shares his screen. I (the host) don’t have the option to annotate. My student clicks on “More” in order to allow annotations, but the option is missing, as are most other options. Student informs me that he is using Zoom web client. I am using Zoom for Windows.

**Error**  
“Enable Annotation for Others” is missing from the “More” menu.

**Which Web Client SDK version?**  
unknown

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Host a meeting with video off in Zoom for Windows.
2. Under “Security” make sure guests are allowed to share screen.
3. Invite a guest who is using Zoom web client.
4. Guest begins screen share.
5. Host attempts to annotate, but option is missing.
6. Guest tries to allow others to annotate, but option is missing.

Hey @kendonrayblack ,

Are you using the Web Client SDK? If so, [annotation is not supported yet](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web#browser-support).

Otherwise, please reach out to [support.zoom.us](http://support.zoom.us) for non [Developer Platform](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides) related questions. 🙂

Thanks,  
Tommy

I am using Zoom for Windows, my student is using Zoom Web Client. He’s the one that needs to screen share, I’m the one that needs to annotate. Thank you for the info. I’ll see if he’s willing to download the app.
