Use Annotations While Presenting a Deck

Learn how to use annotations in meetings to guide viewers through your presentation and highlight key elements.

Updated this week

Overview

Annotations let you visually highlight key areas of your slides by drawing directly on your screen while presenting your VRIFY Decks. They help focus your audience’s attention, emphasize important details, and make your presentations more engaging and interactive.

You can use annotations during In-Person meetings, online meetings, and in recordings that you can embed on your company website — giving you a consistent way to guide viewers through your content, no matter how you’re presenting.

Follow the steps below to learn how to easily add and remove annotations on any of your slides while presenting your VRIFY Decks.


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open the Annotation Tool

    • While presenting any VRIFY Deck, click the annotation icon (pencil) in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

  2. Choose a Colour

    • Select one of the five colour options from the annotation menu.

  3. Draw on the Slide

    • Click and drag anywhere on the Slide to add your annotation, or draw with your Apple Pencil on the iPad.

      • Annotations remain in place when drawn on a 360 Slide, allowing you to continue navigating around your 360° imagery without the annotations disappearing:

      • Annotations are automatically removed from 3D Slides once you change the orientation of the 3D Model, such as zooming in/out or rotating:

    • Note: Viewers will only see your annotations — the annotation tools themselves are not visible to them.

      • Host view:

      • Participant view:

  4. Undo Recent Annotations

    • Click the back arrow icon to undo your most recent annotation(s).

  5. Remove All Annotations

    • Click the trash can icon to clear all annotations from the slide.

  6. Collapse the Menu

    • Click the annotation icon again to close the annotation menu.


Best Practices

  • To make sure your viewers can easily see your annotations, always choose a high-contrast colour. For example, if your slide background is dark, select a lighter annotation colour to create strong contrast.

  • Practice ahead of time so you can draw smoothly and confidently while speaking.

    • If you're using the VRIFY app on an iPad, select View Deck to practice.

    • If you're on a web browser, click Preview in the top right. The annotation icon will appear on the bottom right.

  • Navigating to a different slide will automatically remove any annotations you drew on the previous slide.
