The screen annotation app built for teachers
Mark up slides, websites, PDFs and Zoom shares in real time. Keep students focused on exactly what matters — without alt-tabbing into a separate whiteboard.
Why teachers use Scribbble
Switching to a whiteboard breaks the lesson flow
Opening Jamboard or Miro mid-class loses student attention. Scribbble draws on top of whatever you already have open — slides, browsers, PDFs, code editors.
Students can't tell what you're pointing at
On a shared screen, a mouse pointer is invisible to half the class. Circle it, underline it, or draw an arrow — your emphasis is unmistakable on the recording too.
Recording lessons means re-doing diagrams
Sketch directly over your existing material instead of recreating diagrams in a separate app. Erase and redraw without leaving your slide.
How teachers use it
Live Zoom / Google Meet lessons
Share your screen, then press a hotkey to start drawing. Highlight key vocabulary in a reading, sketch a geometry proof on a slide, or annotate a student's submitted work in real time.
Recorded lectures and Loom videos
Use the pen and arrow tools while recording with QuickTime, Loom or ScreenStudio. Annotations are baked into the recording — no post-production needed.
1-on-1 tutoring
Walk through a problem on a shared whiteboard, PDF worksheet or website. Use different colors per concept so students can follow your thinking.
The tools that matter most
- Freehand pen for diagrams and underlines
- Highlighter to mark key passages in a reading or slide
- Spotlight to dim everything except the part you're explaining
- Arrow tool to direct attention
- Rectangle tool to box key concepts
- Text tool for vocabulary call-outs
- Quick-erase to keep slides clean
FAQ
Does Scribbble work with Zoom and Google Meet?
Yes. Scribbble draws on top of any app, including the screen-share preview from Zoom, Meet, Webex and Teams. Whatever your students see, they see your annotations.
Will my annotations show up in QuickTime or Loom recordings?
Yes. Because Scribbble draws at the OS level, every screen recorder captures the annotations as part of the screen.
