Configurable markup tool sizes in Whiteboard

Prior to this release, the default size of the Whiteboard tools, especially marker tools, was very small. Leaders and presenters found it tedious to work with such small size markup tools during an event but had no options to configure the sizes.

This release provides the ability to configure the markup tool size, where leaders and presenters can now choose between three sizes, namely Small, Medium, and Large for the icon images drawn by the Whiteboard.

As shown in the following figure, they can adjust the size using a size chooser located at the bottom of the image chooser popup menu. Changing the size of the tool affects all users in the session, such that all users see the same size whiteboard icons. If more than one presenter changes the icon size setting, then the latest icon size setting is used for the icons on the Whiteboard.
