I am sorry to report that, in my opinion, Microsoft Teams is
not recommended for use in delivering Remote Demos. Very simply, it currently lacks a set of
annotation tools that are needed to highlight specific parts of software screens
in demos and, accordingly, to enable presenters to drive sufficient
interactivity.
While Teams has some other nice-to-have capabilities for
collaboration, the lack of annotation tools renders it not recommended for
Remote Demos.
Zoom, GoToMeeting and WebEx all offer excellent sets of
annotation tools, including free-hand drawing, text, boxes, circles, highlighters,
“laser” pointers, etc. The use of these
tools helps to move Remote Demos from talk-and-click-and-talk-and-click to true
conversations.

Peter,
Must confess I don't take advantage of the annotation tools in Zoom when demoing our platform. What would you recommend as a primer to understand best practices in this regard?
Hi Scott,
You can find an article on this here: https://greatdemo.com/great-demo-remote-demos-best-practices/
Hope this helps...!
The Great Connection! sessions (recently posted) are vehicles to both learn about the various tools and to put them into day-to-day practice.
Much appreciated, Peter - thank you!
