Missing Text button when sharing screen. Cant find the Text button which was in the annotations bar
Hello,
I am a licensed Zoom host and use Zoom daily for teaching. Since the most recent update, the annotation tools have been reduced and this has made my work much more difficult:
• The Text tool is no longer available in the annotation toolbar.
• The colour options have been reduced from 16 colours down to only 4, and the white colour is missing completely.
These features were essential for teaching — especially when annotating during lessons to highlight different answers, write in different colours for clarity, and use text boxes. Losing them has negatively affected both my teaching flow and the learning experience for my students.
Please could you let me know:
• If this change was intentional or a bug.
• Whether Zoom plans to restore the full set of annotation tools (text + full colour palette).
As a paying customer, I strongly request that these tools be reinstated, or that the same functionality is made available within the classic annotation feature without requiring the new Whiteboard.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Kind regards
