annotation icon blocking my control tools

The annotation icon (pen in a box) always stays at the lower left corner of the Zoom window that blocks my control tools.  Any way to remove/relocate it?  Thanks.

I am having the same issue.  Is there a fix for this?

My issue is that the annotation icon gets blocked by the meeting control bar (mute, video, participants, chat, etc.)  The only fix I have seen for that is having the person sharing their screen stop sharing and then reshare.  It is very frustrating.  I would like to be able to drag the meeting controls to another location to reveal the annotation icon.

Try Zoom Settings → Accessibility and disable the annotation toolbar/floating controls if that option is available. You can also close the annotation toolbar after use; unfortunately, Zoom doesn’t always allow that icon to be freely repositioned.
