Features

Live keystroke overlay

Draw on Screen can show pressed keys over the desktop for presentations and recordings. Open Draw on Screen, click Show keystrokes, then customize Screen region, Filter, Size, Linger, and animation on the Draw on Screen settings page. Turning the feature Off on that page removes its tray item, hotkey, and drawing buttons from recording and sharing toolbars.

Draw on Instant Screenshot

Freeze every monitor at the current moment and annotate the still image without the underlying apps changing. On the Hotkeys page, assign Draw on Instant Screenshot, then press that shortcut whenever you need a frozen canvas.

Step numbers and drawing shortcuts

Annotate walkthroughs faster with numbered badges and toolbar shortcuts. Select Step Count or press C, then click to place the next number or drag to add an arrow. While Draw on Screen has keyboard focus, letter hints select tools, 1 to 4 select sizes, and Shift+1 to Shift+8 select colors.

Capture visibility controls

Choose which parts of Clowd stay out of screenshots, recordings, and screen shares. In General, set Hide Clowd windows from screen capture to Hide none, Tooltips, Toolbars, or All windows. The default is Tooltips; for existing users, the Draw on Screen toolbar is no longer hidden by default, so choose Toolbars or All windows to keep it out.

Locked editor items

Protect image editor items from being moved, resized, or erased. Right-click a selected item and choose Lock; right-click it again and choose Unlock when you need to edit it.

Minor Changes

  • Draw on Screen remembers the last selected color and size for the next session.
  • Options appears on the recording toolbar only in Instant mode.
  • The image editor stays usable and on screen when opening very small captures.

Bugs Fixed

  • Image crop mode no longer ignores Enter or Esc; Enter applies the crop and Esc cancels it.
  • Alt+Space no longer does nothing on Windows; it opens the current window's system menu.
  • Dialogs and file pickers opened from the tray or global hotkeys no longer appear behind other apps or fail to come forward.
