Chalk Desktop not always able to draw

[dmforbes]

I have performed many demos for Chalk, as I work for Rockwell.  I use my phone, and the desktop app, to show the session.  sometimes the desktop app does not allow for me to draw an AR object in the desktop app

This would depend on the device sharing their view.  If the local user does not initialize their environment, or are using an unsupported device, then Chalk marks will not work. See this community post for more information.

Using my Iphone 7, I can join and leave a session over and over, and each time get a different result. Sometimes I can draw, other times I cannot
