Random lines appeared during a meeting

During a talk I was giving yesterday, someone tried to logon after the talk had started. I could see their name pop up in very small print in the left hand side of the screen, then the name moved about a bit at random leaving a trail behind it. It stopped moving after a minute or so, but the trails were left as a blue line which persisted throughout every slide for the rest of the talk . I've attached a link to the section of the talk where this occured. Can anyone tell me what happened here and what I can do to avoid it in the future? I am dealing with a quite elderly audience here, so asking the culprit what they were doing isn''t likely to help.

Hi, @alanterrill,

From what I can see, sir, I think someone in your attendees has found the Annotation tool and proceeded to scribble on your presentation!

I recommend going to the web view of your account to Personal -> Settings and turning off the Annotation tool, or at least checking the Only the user who is sharing can annotate check box.
