This is perfect. We have a video collaboration app where we need to share documents (e.g. PDFs) so users can walk through the document together. As part of this, we have a document viewer that the sharer needs to share during the call and scroll through different pages where others can annotate on the shared document. Prior to Element Capture, this was a lousy user experience since the entire window needed to be displayed and didn’t allow annotations from the sharer. Thank you!
