In the below video, Stephen will go through how to comment and annotate in Overcast.

Step by step how to Comment and Annotate: 

  1. To make a comment on or add an annotation to a video or image, click the comments tab on the left.
  2. To add a comment type it into the box and it will appear on the right. You can do the same thing for annotating.
  3. If you add an annotation, it will appear on top of the image or video.
  4. For videos, if you add comments while watching the video, the comments and annotations will be timecoded.
