# Is there any way to disable the use of the annotation tools for my students without effecting my ability to use them!

During presentations I would like to have the annotation tools available to me but not my students.  Some students are taking the opportunity to mark up the screen during the presentation. Is there any way to disable their tools without disabling my capabilities?

Hey Lynette,

The age of technology during this time period has been very challenging between teachers and students. What you want is located in your SETTINGS.

Go here:
Settings
PERSONAL > Settings > Meetings
Go to ANNOTATION

In order for you to continue using ANNOTATION, you must have this option TOGGLED ON.
Look for CHECKBOX saying "By default, only the user who is sharing can annotate." Make sure this CHECKBOX is selected. 

This will allow only you to ANNOTATE.
