Zoom presentation: Remote control AND pointer at the same time?

We usually give other users remote control to control changing the slides on their own while having one central presentation.

A normal presenter’s tool (pointer connected via USB in “live” presentations) usually integrates buttons to change the slide AND a pointer. Why is this not translated into Zoom? (Remote control should give control over slides AND a pointer!)

Or is this possible in a different way?

    hi ​@Annika Baude 

    That is a great point and I use a different method.

    I also use annotations feature.
    in fact, as I write you an answer I think this is a great disussion piece for my Lord Zoom Live Show, so we will run it this week of next and demonstrate live some options.

    Please like and mark as the solution if this helps

    All the best
