1. Colour Picker

The Colour Picker allows participants to change the colour of their drawing stroke before or during annotation.

Steps

  1. Open the drawing toolbar from the session controls.

  2. Tap the 🎨 Colour Picker icon (palette icon) in the toolbar.

  3. A colour swatch panel will expand below the toolbar, showing the available colours:

    • Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Purple, Grey, White

    Colour palette expanded showing 9 colour options

  4. Tap any colour to select it. Your next drawing stroke will use the selected colour.

Tip: The currently active tool is highlighted with a darker background. Make sure the Pencil or Circle tool is selected before drawing.


2. Undo

The Undo feature lets participants reverse their last drawing action on the canvas.

Steps

  1. While in drawing mode, tap the ↩ Undo icon in the drawing toolbar.

  2. The most recent stroke or shape drawn will be removed from the canvas.

  3. Tap Undo repeatedly to step back through multiple actions one at a time.

Note: Undo only applies to your own drawings. It does not affect strokes made by other participants.


3. Display Name While Drawing

When a participant draws on the canvas, their display name appears as a label attached to their active stroke or shape. This helps all viewers identify who is annotating in real time.

Participant's display name shown as a tooltip near their drawing

Behaviour

  • The name label appears automatically — no action is needed from the participant.

  • The label is displayed in a colour-matched tooltip that corresponds to the participant's selected stroke colour.

  • The name remains visible while the participant is actively drawing and fades once they stop.

  • All participants in the session can see each other's name labels simultaneously.

Note: The display name shown is pulled from the participant's account name as it appears in the session.


Constraints & Behaviour

  • Drawing tools are available to all participants who have been added to the stream.

  • Clearing drawings using the 🗑️ Delete icon removes all annotations on the canvas and cannot be undone.
