I use "whiteboard" software for doing this.  Plenty to choose from:

Basically, I screen grab whatever I want to scribble upon.  Then, I
capture or save the result to a file.  How this is done depends on
which whiteboard software you're using.  Some offer a "canvas" that is
larger than the screen allowing you to scribble between the screen
grab image and "canvas" margin.  A nice feature is that all whiteboard
software will accept scribbling from multiple users.  Unfortunately,
whiteboard software doesn't work with video which will probably
require video editing software.

I think I did that search. I can grab the screen with the printscreen
key and paste it into Irfanview, which is fast and allows drawing. But
sometimes I need to do it often in a session so it would be better to
make it one step. Like press a hotkey and start drawing. Then it would
even work over video although I don't need it for that. It would also
work with any remote software (and I have to use various) and also work
in person like if I just want to mark some objects for a moment.
