To measure a flat area during a video collaboration live call,

  1. Tap .
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions until your device recognises a surface.
  3. Move to the starting point of the measurement.
  4. Tap .
  5. Move to the ending point of the measurement.
  6. Tap .
  7. Repeat steps three through six to measure the remaining lines.
Each end of a line acts like a magnet and snaps the reticle to it if the reticle is close. You can start or end a new line on any end of an existing line by moving close enough to the end of the line that the reticle snaps to it, then tap to either start or complete the line segment.
The perpendicular line tool appears whenever the first segment of a line is marked. This allows for easy measuring of height or width and helps ensure easy measuring of surfaces that might be difficult to measure, such as heights on a wall. To measure the height on a wall, mark a point on the floor, move to follow the vertical line up until you reach the desired stopping point and click to end the line segment.
