How to Highlight Your Mouse Cursor on Mac

Does your audience lose the mouse pointer during a Mac screen share? A cursor highlight makes its location easier to follow while you explain a button, menu or diagram.

Short answerUse TeacherPalette’s cursor highlight for a precise location, laser pointer for movement, or spotlight for a larger area. Choose the cue that fits the step you are demonstrating.

Choose a cursor highlight, laser pointer or spotlight

A cursor highlight works when you want people to locate one control. A laser pointer is better when you are tracing a path through a menu or diagram. Spotlight is useful when the whole area around the cursor matters, not just a single pixel.

Make the pointer yours without making it noisy

TeacherPalette can add a cursor highlight, a click ripple, or a custom cursor image. Use the smallest cue that helps the audience follow; the goal is to guide attention, not decorate every movement.
