How to use the laser pointer
The laser pointer tool lets you temporarily highlight areas of the board during presentations and lessons. The pointer trail fades away after a moment, so it doesn’t leave permanent marks.
Getting started
- Click the Pointer icon in the toolbar.
- Click and drag on the board to draw a pointer trail.
- The trail will fade away automatically.
When to use the laser pointer
- Drawing attention to specific content during a live lesson or meeting
- Pointing out details on a shared board while screen sharing
- Guiding collaborators through a diagram or process
- Highlighting answers or key points during a review session
Tips
- The laser pointer is visible to all collaborators in real time.
- It’s ideal for use with fullscreen presentation mode.
- Since the trail fades away, you can use it freely without cluttering the board.
