Disable scribbling all over screen

I work with a group of kids who discovered a way to scribble all over the screen as I'm presenting, as well as all the emojis at their disposal. Is there a way to disable this scribbling feature? I don't mind interactive chatting (to a limit) but the drawings are a bit disruptive. Grateful if you can help out!

Sounds like you want to disable annotation.

You can disable the annotation feature in your Zoom settings to prevent people from writing all over a screen share/whiteboard. To disable participant annotation, start your screen share / whiteboard session, then click on “More”, and click on “Disable annotation for others”.

 

 

You can also lock this down more broadly for the account via steps found here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4409894568845-Enabling-or-disabling-annotation-tools-for-meetings

Ezt hol tudom “központilag” letiltani a webes felületen?
Sajnos nem találom rá a lehetőséget.
