The goal is simple. Help highlight important stuff on the screen during presentations and remote sessions. Drawing on the screen and zooming any text should be easy-peasy.
The dream, for me, would be a companion iPad app that mirrors my screen but lets me draw on it. Sidecar solves the screen mirroring part -- supposedly Mac apps can also make themselves apple-pencil aware, so maybe such a thing is doable?
Yes! Sidecar should have the option to show the iPad screen for presentations in OSX. Drawing apps on iOS are much better suited to live-doodling with a pen than OSX ones.
Slightly tangential but in the spirit of improving meetings:
I started using Meeter[0] to notify me of all my upcoming meetings. Between Teams , Zoom and a dozen other apps that have become common now, Meeter provides me a simple icon on the Mac menu bar and I can join a meeting with 1-click instead of struggling to open Calendar/Outlook etc. Worth a shot!
I think the assumption is that you are sharing your screen with others in the meeting, and then use this tool to add highlights or zoom in, which others then can see too.
Outside of my regular consulting gigs, I am also a public speaker, and thanks to Covid, every conference in the US has gone virtual for 2020. So I spend a lot of time teaching online — and Presentify is absolutely a godsend. I routinely get asked by audiences on what tool I am using.
Also, super responsive creator. You should check it out.

[shameless plugin] I'm developing an app in a similar space (www.get-spoke.com) to be able to share video-conference summaries in seconds.
