Keynote Live Pointer

Any way to get the pointer tools working in the Keynote Remote portion of the iOS app when in Keynote Live? I need to have a way of using the cursor or a pointing to when remote viewers are watching my Keynote presentation using Keynote Live.

Keynote Live is unable to show annotations or a pointer from Keynote Remote in the iOS version of Keynote.

Viewers can only see what is contained in the Keynote presentation located on your iCloud Drive.


A work around for the pointer, is to include an arrow shape contained in the Keynote file saved in iCloud. This can be moved or shown using the animation controls in Keynote.
