We built video annotations with tldraw! It’s a new feature we’re launching next week, and we’re really excited for all you Jamming to try it. So today, Jam engineers: Max, Aidan, and Rui get into the technical details of implementing the tldraw library - so you can draw stuff while recording your screen.

Excited to show you what we built!

(00:37) Why implementing annotations was so different than the blur tool

(02:55) How Max discovered we already had a tldraw license

(04:25) Why we love tldraw: React-SVG dual architecture & more details

(08:55) Demo of video annotations & why it’s different than Jam’s screenshot feature

(11:29) Why we ultimately decided to use tldraw for video too (it looks so nice!)

(12:52) Our biggest takeaway for building w/ 3rd party libraries
