Zoom lets you draw on screen or allow remote control which is not possible with a webapp.

  I don't buy that argument. Browser is plenty capable. Check out https://excalidraw.com https://excalidraw.com Discovered this during pandemic WFH. Since then, this is THE collaborative drawing tool for any design discussions, interviews etc.

    That's drawing on a canvas, not on the desktop that's currently being shared.

      There is a web api for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capture_API/Using_Screen_Capture#browser_compatibility https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt... There is also a proper macOS API for this, which they are skirting using by using this hack.

        Where on that page does it say anything about drawing on the screen or remote control? To me, those are the two major features Zoom provides that differentiate it from e.g. Google Meet or Jitsi.
