You may want to look at collaboration software, rather than video editing software. I believe MS Teams and probably many other programs let you use a whiteboard or annotate a presentation. I think they may -- but I haven't confirmed -- let you share a video and use annotation tools. You might also want to check out Camtasia, although this would not be real-time annotation.

Zoom can do that as well and also support recording, but it's not really a video-editor
