My guess is that there are a very large number of us using Nearpod within institutions that for one reason or another haven't or will not purchase a school/district license. One would think that Nearpod would value the inherently free marketing that comes from satisfied users, particularly educators whose use of their product impact the views of so many students. What a disappointment to limit such a critical capability as real-time annotations to only the large customers.

Agree too. Annotations definitely enhanced the lesson and not all of us are subscribing to premium plus. It should be made available for all plans.

Agree. At least for all paid plans (platinum and above)

Agree. this feature only available for school subscription, but my school does not want to subscribe. I really love nearpod, but because i cannot annotate on my slide.. I stop using it. My students told me that they want me to draw or write on the slide while presenting... it makes them easier to understand my explanation. Tq
