The Annotation tool allows Zoom hosts and participants to draw on the screen and everyone in the meeting can see what has been drawn. Zoombombers exploit this tool to draw inappropriate images that are seen by everyone in the meeting.
With the Zoom Annotation feature allowed, when anyone shares their screen during a Zoom meeting, all participants can use the annotation tool to draw and make notes on top of the shared screen. Those annotations are seen by all Zoom meeting participants.
