# Annotations

Annotations let the host and co-host leave timestamped comments directly on a video while it's being presented in the room — marking a specific moment for review, feedback, or discussion without breaking the flow of the session.

Annotations are currently supported for **video only**.

## **Adding an Annotation**

Annotations are added while a video is presenting in the room, using the annotations icon on the playback bar.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Present a video in the room." />

  <Step title="On the playback bar, click the annotations icon." />

  <Step title="A text input opens directly under the playback bar. Your annotation is also added to the video's Details page, under the Annotations section." />

  <Step title="Pause the video at the exact point you want to comment on." />

  <Step title="Write your comment, then press Enter to post it." />
</Steps>

## **Where Annotations Appear**

Every annotation you post appears as a comment in the Annotations section of the video's Details page.

Each comment shows:

* The **timestamp** in the video where the annotation was made
* The **name** of the person who posted it
* The **comment** text
* A **Reply** button

## **Editing & Deleting**

Each annotation has a menu with options to edit or delete it.

* **Edit** — updates the comment text in place.
* **Delete** — removes the annotation from the list.

## **Comment Count in the Files Tab**

You don't need to open a video to know if it has annotations on it.

The video's thumbnail in the **Files** tab shows the number of comments on it, so you can spot which files have open feedback at a glance.
