Freely annotate web pages, PDF documents, Google Slides and Google Docs content when presenting. Keep your audience engaged with live annotations during your remote learning and Google Meet sessions.

New! Annotate PDFs on your Google Drive or on the web by selecting “Open with Annotate”. Annotations are sticky and remain in place as you zoom, scroll, and navigate. The same user interface and annotation tools now work across PDFs, Google Slides, Google Docs, and web pages.

With improved compatibility with Google Slides and Google Docs, we track annotations for every slide/ page so your annotations remain in sync as you navigate across slides/ pages. Tight integration with Google Slides and Google Docs also enables switching between app controls/ menus and our annotation tools seamlessly. Our annotations are smooth, fast, and anchored in place as you zoom and navigate, making your content look professional and engaging.

Save your annotations in your account for review later. Share them with others or come back and continue working from where you left off. Capture screenshots of marked up pages and insert them directly into your Annotate notebook. All this as you share¹ your entire screen, an application, or just a single Chrome tab with a projector² and multiple student devices.

The plugin works seamlessly with your Annotate.net instructor account to enable annotations over web pages and screen sharing¹ during LiveStreams. When installed on classroom devices, you can empower students to take an active role in their learning by giving them the ability to annotate web pages and share their screens using the \"Pass Control\" feature.

Teachers, students, and Google Meet users shall be able to:
• Freely annotate web pages, PDFs, Google Slides, and Google Docs using the pen and highlighter tools³.
• Annotate PDFs on their Google Drive or on the web by selecting “Open with Annotate”.
• Annotate Google Slides in both edit and present modes. Google slides annotations are tracked and saved for every slide.
• Save annotations directly into their Annotate web account⁴.
• Share their annotations with others⁴.
• Capture screenshots of web pages with annotations and add them directly into an Annotate notebook.
• Insert images from the web, including image searches, directly into their Annotate notebook with just a click.
• Use the laser pointer tool to point out details and draw attention.
• Stream their entire desktop screen, a single application, or just a Chrome tab¹.
• Stream speaker and microphone audio¹ from their computer to a projector² and student devices.
• Select a monitor for sharing if they have multiple screens/monitors connected to their computer¹.

¹The extension provides screen sharing and audio streaming support in your Annotate web account in older versions of Chrome.
²Requires the Annotate Mirror Client v11.0+ or the Annotate Chrome Client Lite running on the PC/ Mac/ Chromebox connected to your projector.

Anmol Limbu (ID: 00000090e17f3a7a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/12/2023 it's useless if you don't have any codes.

Emma Zuo (ID: 000000b41435524f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/05/2023 The best online teaching tools for teachers!

jithin raj (ID: 000000e26f674efe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/09/2023 Super useful! Well done Annotate team! Suggestion: Please reposition snapshot tool (camera icon) on top row (as it was in previous version) of toolbar, so that it can be accessed fast.

Rishi Agarwal (ID: 000000342e349a70) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/31/2023 Every time I press the delete annotation, it asks for confirmation. This is quite annoying when i am teaching in class and need to clear annotations on Slides to make space. Please add a setting that can disable this popup every time.

Anja Winter (ID: 000000bf95de0344) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/15/2022 Very nice and better than expected!!! A few things I would like to see improved: 1) Text size - we should be able to make the text bigger otherwise can't be used for presenting. Edit: It actually it possible to make the text bigger, but very hidden... You have to scroll right to get more font sizes and often, the scrolling doesn't work. Also typing in the text size doesn't always work. 2) Short cut for "add text" .. would be super useful to quickly add text when presenting :) 3) Custom short cuts would be amazing! 4) It would be nice to be able to save "favorites" or "last used", so for example if I always use a red arrow to point: It would be nice if it's always saved in the main toolbar without me having to go to the 3 dots for "more", choosing the line, adding an arrow and changing the color each time I restart Chrome. Thanks!
