Limelight
Draw on screen during Google Meet
Google Meet has no real annotation tools, so explaining things visually is hard. Limelight lets you draw freely on top of anything during a Meet call.
On a Google Meet call you often want to circle a figure, underline a line, or sketch an arrow while you talk. Meet gives you nothing for this, so you end up waving your cursor around and hoping people understand.
Limelight runs from your menu bar and draws on top of your whole screen, regardless of which app is in front. Press ⌃⌥3 to start drawing on top of Google Meet, sketch what you mean, and press ⌃⌥C to clear it. Use ⌃⌥Z to undo. Meet captures whatever you share, so your drawing reaches everyone on the call.
Perfect for teachers, reviewers, and consultants explaining things live over Google Meet on a Mac. Draw on screen is a Pro feature.

FAQ

- Not for sharing your own screen. Limelight fills that gap by drawing on top of your screen, and Meet shares the result with everyone on the call.
- How do I erase what I drew?
- Press ⌃⌥C to clear the whole drawing, or ⌃⌥Z to undo your last stroke.
