For annotating over active images, such as those on a webpage you are browsing, or marking items on an active video, it is recommended to use the MyViewBoard WhiteBoard for Windows software. This tool provides the necessary functionality for seamless and professional annotations.


IMPORTANT:
- WINDOWS-ONLY FEATURE: Note that this feature is only supported within the Windows version of myViewBoard 
  Whiteboard.
- ANNOTATION TIP: Any annotations made before switching back to desktop mode will remain on the screen. Make 
  sure to screenshot and erase if you would like to save your notes but continue navigating with a clear screen.
- RETURNING TO CANVAS MODE: Any annotations marked while in desktop mode will be lost when switching back 
  to canvas mode. Make sure to screenshot if you would like to save your notes before returning to canvas mode.
- KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS: Whiteboard keyboard shortcuts are disabled while in Windows desktop mode.
