# Draw on screen

${color}[#676767](**Our draw on screen feature lets you easily brainstorm and convey what you’ve in mind without having to frenetically move your mouse cursor in all directions.**)

### How to use the Draw on screen mode?

It can be used by both the guest and the host, but will need to be activated by the session Host.

###### How to activate it?

To activate it go to the session toolbar, click on the **arrow** icon and from the dropdown menu select one of the 2 draw options :

* **Draw**, only for the guest to draw.
* **Draw together**, for the guest and the host to draw together.

The draw will fade either after 3 seconds or when the other user draws if in **Draw together** mode.

###### How to make the drawing persistent?

You can make it persistent by deactivating the fade option. This option can only be deactivated by the session Host.

* Click on the **...** menu.
* Click on **Draw settings**.
* Uncheck **Automatically fade away drawings**.
