Present better
on a Mac.

Short, practical answers to the things people search for before a big call. Where your Mac can already do it for free, we say so first.

1. 01How to draw on your Mac screen while presentingmacOS can't draw on the live screen by itself. Markup only works on screenshots. To draw over any app while you talk, use your call app's annotation tools (Zoom, Teams, Meet) or install a screen annotation app like ZoomIt for Mac (free) or Overlaid.→
2. 02How to show keystrokes on screen on a MacmacOS doesn't come with a keystroke overlay for presenting, so you need an app. KeyCastr is free and open source. Overlaid and Mouseposé show keystrokes alongside other presenting tools.→
3. 03How to highlight your cursor on a MacFor free, make the pointer bigger and change its colours in System Settings, Accessibility, Display. For a halo, spotlight, click ripples or a trail that viewers can follow, use an app like Overlaid, Mouseposé or Presentify.→
4. 04How to zoom in on your Mac screen during a presentationTurn on Accessibility Zoom in System Settings, then hold Control and scroll. It's free and zooms the live screen. If you also want to draw on the zoomed view, use ZoomIt for Mac (free) or Overlaid.→
5. 05How to annotate a screen share in Zoom, Teams and Google Meet on a MacZoom and Teams both have an Annotate button on the screen share toolbar. Google Meet's annotation is for paid Google Workspace accounts. To use the same tools in every app, and in recordings, use a screen annotation app and share your entire screen.→
