Inkspot — Annotate Anythi
View on Chrome Web StoreChrome will indicate if you already have this installed.
Overview
Inkspot turns any webpage into a whiteboard.
Click the toolbar icon and a clean, floating palette appears over the
current page. Draw freehand, highlight, add shapes, drop text boxes,
point with a laser, or use disappearing ink to guide attention without
leaving a mark. When you're done, one click closes the overlay and the
page is untouched.
Built for teachers who present from the browser — Google Slides, Google
Meet, YouTube explainers, shared PDFs — but useful for anyone who wants
to mark up a screen during a meeting, review, or recording.

network requests. Annotations live in your browser tab and disappear
when you close the overlay. The extension has no backend — everything
runs locally on your device.

- Does not work on chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, or the
built-in PDF viewer — browser restriction. For PDFs, use a web viewer
