Question

Cursor not visible to attendees when sharing application window

Over the last several months, I've had complaints from attendees that they can't see my mouse when sharing my screen. This is really frustrating, and I have not noticed this issue when I attend others' Zoom meetings. I did some troubleshooting and found that it only happens when sharing the application window, NOT the screen. Is this a known issue or some kind of feature?

hi @joderda 

This is the correct response for slides.

When you share powerpoint, there is a powerpoint option to share the cursor and it is off by default.
So zoom also hides the cursor till you request it
all the best
