Disabling Annotation

After searching diligently thru prior conversations for annotation controls, I've run across things like this:

 

  1. In the navigation panel, click Account Management then Account Settings.
  2. Click the Meeting tab.
  3. Under In Meeting (Basic), verify that Annotation is enabled.

I have no idea what the navigation panel is (there's nothing labelled as such), and I'm unable to find anything called "account management", "account settings", a "meeting" tab, or an "in meeting (basic)" item. I can locate "Settings" under the "Zoom Workplace" menu, but nothing in the resultant window refers to any of the above, let alone annotation controls.

 

I don't want my users scribbling all over my screen during my presentation, but I can't find any way to turn off that ability. I'd expect it to be one of the items in the sidebar of the "Settings" window, but it's not. Where is it?

This option doesn't seem to exist any more. Any update on how we can disable others from annotating whiteboards?

This option disappeared in V6.7

I need a way to turn it off in a session.  Any ideas ?
