- Play shared files - enables set participants to access the playlist and control playback of shared files.
- Draw on whiteboard & annotations - enables set participants to draw on the whiteboard and annotate ,played files.
- Write notes - enables set participants to contribute to notes, edit notes, and add new notes.
