During calls, a mouse cursor is often not enough to point out the necessary elements on your screen. Unfortunately, not all video conferencing apps have a built-in annotation feature. In such cases, third-party solutions can help.

[**Presentify**](https://presentifyapp.com/) is one such solution. Once installed, you can add various annotations, notes, and other elements directly on your screen during a screencast, call, or anytime you need.

### Features

After launching the utility, you will find an icon in the **menu bar**, where you can choose one of four highlighting modes. You can also switch between them using **hotkeys**.

• **Annotate Screen** activates a toolbar at the top of the screen for adding annotations. You can select a drawing tool (curve, arrow, rectangle, circle, text), choose a color, and mark the necessary areas.

• **Colors can be mixed**, and if you want to change the default color set, you can do so in the Presentify settings.

• **Annotate Without Controls** does the same thing, but the toolbar is not displayed. Instead, the last used tool from the previous menu remains active. However, switching between tools in this mode is unclear.

• **Interactive Mode** allows you to both annotate and interact with your screen’s content. Normally, you can move windows and click buttons, but by holding **Fn**, you can start drawing.

• **Highlight Cursor** simply adds extra highlighting around your cursor.

### Pricing

There’s no free trial for Presentify, so you’ll have to pay **$6.99 upfront**. However, it’s a **one-time purchase**, and SetApp users can download it for free.
