Drawing On the Device Screen

About this task

SOTI Assist provides a set of screen drawing tools that enable you and the device user to collaborate by drawing on the device screen.

Procedure

To activate the screen drawing tools:
Click the Enable Screen Drawing button on the remote control toolbar.
The screen drawing toolbar appears at the bottom of the page.
The drawing toolbar contains the following tools:
  • Disable Drawing: Temporarily suspends drawing on the screen to allow you or the device user to interact with the device's screen.
  • Clear All Drawings: Removes all drawings on the device's screen.
  • Change Color: Changes the pencil color.
  • Stroke Weight: Adjusts the radius of the pencil or eraser.
  • Eraser: Changes the cursor into an eraser so you can selectively remove portions of the drawing on the screen.
  • Pencil: Changes the cursor into a pencil.
  • Laser: Changes the cursor into a laser pointer you can use to draw the device user's attention to something on the screen.
  • Change User Access: Switches between allowing only you, or both you and the device user, to draw on the device screen.
  • Switch to whiteboard: Changes the device screen to all white to enable you and the device user to collaborate on a digital canvas.

Results

When you give the device user the ability to draw on the screen, a set of drawing tools appear at the bottom of the device screen.

These tools enable the device user to draw on the screen using their finger. They can use the tools to change the line color, clear all drawings from the screen, and temporarily suspend drawing so they can interact normally with the device screen.
