I don't know if you know this, Kevin, but you are saving many teacher's lives during this remote/hybrid learning time. Really a lifesaver! I've watch a ton of your videos and they helped myself and my colleagues tremendously. Thank you!!
Another awesome tutorial, Kevin. I normally try to find the shortest tutorials on TH-cam but I chose yours (quite a bit longer than I would normally watch) because you've proven to be an awesome, "no-fluff", teacher.

This is a nice feature. I used the AtoHotKey method which worked very well on my computer, but this morning I was teaching through Zoom and my students did not see the mouse cursor with the yellow halo. Some students complained about a big black box instead of the cursor so they did not see where on the screen I was clicking. I will try this out when teaching in the classroom.
When using Zoom, make sure to share a desktop or a screen instead of a program's specific window. If you share a program's specific window, then by definition Zoom will only cpature what belongs to that specific window, which the cursor highlight isn't.
Love that this video is concise and breaks into two parts (software/no software), plainly speaking, it cuts the BS, so thank you so much! Great and easy to follow!
This is just what I needed for my online video lectures. Many thanks to you Kevin for your clear video, and many thanks to Prof. Luc Boisvert for his script.
At first i got the highlight cursor for my online class, then I also downloaded this really cute bread cursor! I love this video and I love to customize everything on my computer!!
I watched an instruction video from Kevin sometime ago. This time, I searched for a similar topic on YT again and I got terrible videos, UNTIL I saw Kevin again, I knew he could help. Not disappointed as expected!
Thanks a million! Beautifully explained and demonstrated, both at the same time. I have been wanting this feature but just could not find it with so many features packed. Your explanation was simple, short and no repetition. Every word was information packed! Sign of a very good presenter. Thanks again!
Ths highlighter is just what I needed. I am an old guy doing design work using a CAD program. The program changes cursers depending on the function that is being used. I was spending a lot of time trying to find the curser. Your tip solved the problem,
Hi Kevin. I hope you are well. I have been following your channel for a couple of years now and I have learnt so much from you as you make every topic or demonstration so interesting and informative too. Please keep up your invaluable work. Thank You Kind Regards Gary (UK)
You have forever earned YT's "Impossible to Troll" award, sir!! This is EASILY the BEST How-To video-of-all. Clear voice, great timing, clear graphics, residual links, non-patronizing or "gollyosky" presentation,.... Nope, I'm VERY-happy to Like. Gracie'!! Buona Fortuna!
First I went with option one and started downloading those icons..... didn’t want to download a problem from unknown sources....and I kept listening to the video. Seeing all the advanced features and then I downloaded the app oh my gosh it’s so smooth!
Thanks Kevin. Love all your tutorials, I’m learning so much that’s helping me in delivering my teaching online. A great experience for my learners too. Keep up the great work. Thanks again. Trevor.
You are great! I am the a-typical complete beginner type and struggle with basics at times. But with your videos, I always get it right the first time around! Brilliant!
I don't know why people give thumbs down to such a useful video. Really this video is gem! Every online teacher will need this tool. Thank you for such a great video. I will be waiting for your future videos. I hope you are doing well. God bless you.
Thank you so much Kevin. I have been recording a few videos for my students and was struggling with this. I absolutely love your videos... (have learned 110% of MS Teams from them). You are good at what you do! Thanks for helping us teachers. God bless.
ZoomIt is great for that. it allows you to also add annotations with different colors, lines, squares, circles, while zoomed in or not. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit
You can try Microsoft's Zoomit to accomplish this. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit By using shortcut keys (listed in the download page) it's pretty easy to switch between zoom and normal mode (plus you can annotate the screen if you want).
Kevin, I really feel indebted because of your video on screen recording. I reactivated my channel after 04 long years after watching that video. Please keep enlightening us with your beautiful knowledge.
Hi Kevin. Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful! Is there any way to show which mouse button was pressed? Is it possible to show that information near the mouse pointer and to set the duration of the message on screen? Best regards, A very early follower 😊
Hi Kevin, I was a bit hesitant to watch the video because compared to the rest of other videos, it's way longer, but it was worth it. I understand all the steps and the meaning behind them. It helps me have other options just in case I'm interested in different cursor styles. Thanks again.
I'm so grateful to the video. I have trouble in my eyes. When at first I started using computer, finding out the cursor was a nightmare for me. This highlighter really helped me in a great way. You always bring us some good content. I appreciate!
I wasn’t a computer except but I’m being watching your tutorials for about 4 hours, and you know what? I’m a master now!!!! Just kidding but I really appreciate your videos really really helpful stuff 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥🦾
Thank you so much for this video. It's so helpfull especially with my poor eyesight. Your videos are so easy to follow and I'm 71 years old. Thank you Kevin.
It has to be prioritized along with everything else. I'm sure with so many people working from home now and the need to instruct virtually, this may become a higher priority. Submit the feedback via Feedback Hub on Windows and that'll help with the prioritization. If enough people submit the feedback, that'll help to make sure it gets done.
I'll add to my list of videos to cover. High level summary: I use PowerDirector as my editing software and you can insert key frames and define the zoom level for that key frame (most video software includes this capability). I use this for zooming in and out at certain points. It's a little time consuming, but works well. Perhaps a video at some point if enough people are interested.

Here's how I do it: th-cam.com/video/W8yCbTlBb0I/w-d-xo.html Some viewers have also recommended Zoomit docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit
The highlight is gone after every reboot. I work with two screens and an extended desktop. The highlighted mouse is caught in one of the screens and refuses to cross.
Obviously it will be because it's enabled by running a script. Is that much of a problem? Just add a shortcut to it somewhere, like how you'd open any other program (except one that autostarts on boot).
May GOD bless you! I have been searching the Internet for a transparent cursor for a while. Thank you so much for the video; not only do I have a transparent cursor, but I can also control all its attributes. This is going to really help my online teaching. Perhaps the most important feature is the easy way we can turn on or off the cursor halo. Thanks again and Cheers!
Very helpful video, Kevin! I have started recording on OBS and when I searched how to highlight the cursor, this one came up. Thanks for putting this very high quality video together!
The second option is indeed the best given that it gives the option of highlighter and focus and also hotkeys to switch between the two. Thanks a lot for this video.
@ Kevin Stratvert you are totally incredible in explaining what you know in very short precise and clear manner and also you are so kind that you transmit such a knowledge for free .I have watched a lot of your videos .
Thanks for the ton of info, for now I just wanted to show my pointer in my OBS slideshow, but I will play around with the other options. You have given me a lot of value over the last couple of years. Cheers!👋🐧
Thanks a lot!!! Literally I wanted to highlight my cursor for so long time like it has been a week and I found this Video....It really really helped me a lot!!!!!....thanks again. I am really very happy and Satisfied. It is a MASTERPIECE for sure...Thanks Again and again
I know I'm late to the party here, but I wanted to thank you for a clear and simple instructional video. These 2 options are both better than what I was previously using.
The highlight tool is great for showing how to read architectural blueprints, it really enhances the cursor. I really appreciate your videos. Takeoff Experts.
Thank you very much. I have been looking for how to this for so many years. You are an absolute great teacher. Just excellent. Love ur videos. Keep doing them.
Kevin, your videos are so good, I wanna download them all and squirrel them away offline, just in case the internet scorches thru. Thank you for your fantastic work; you are an inspiration!
I don't know if you know this, Kevin, but you are saving many teacher's lives during this remote/hybrid learning time. Really a lifesaver!
I've watch a ton of your videos and they helped myself and my colleagues tremendously. Thank you!!
you are wrong
This is perfect! I could see so many people needing this when showing a tutorial on their screen. Great tutorial Kevin :)
Very True
Oh yes, like myself! I will definitely be doing this.
Basic IT & EDPM with Kerry-Ann Reid-Simpson same! :)
saveUSER I know right! :)
It came out at perfect timing! Great help as well for ppl with some vision trouble with chasing the runaway cursor 👍😎😘

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. Not only that, but for the first time in my life, I learned how to pronounce "opacity" correctly. ;0)

Thank you so much, I've always wanted a highlight on my cursor. You were very informative and helpful. Enjoy all of your videos.
I can't sing the praises of Autohotkey enough!! I've been using it for years and I'd be a babbling idiot without it! You can do so much with it!
Great video and perfect timing as I have a demo in less than an hour to do and this is going to help a ton! Thanks Kevin!
Good timing :)

After 1:30 min of drawling intro. How about 1:30 seconds, Kevin?
See Thoughty2.
While I type this, at 1:44 you start saying '..let's see how to'.
hello may i ask why its not secure???
😂😂 my oh my! The joke hitting me after a long while
Thanks, Kevin. I used the first method, and it took me less than 2 minutes.
Thank you Kevin, you are brilliant and you come with very good ideas on each video you create
I am big fan of your channel
Thanks for the note Adam!
This is AMAZING! Been looking for something trustworthy to use for a highlighter and just found this video (2 years late) thank you!

How to zoom in and zoom out when screen recording?
I'll add this to my list. Seems like a lot of people are interested. Stay tuned!
You could use the windows "Magnifier" or use the hotkey "Windows key" and "+"

I can't thank you enough for this.
I think you must Thank Professor Luc Boisvert also.
Tutor with no" bakwaas". Absolutely spectacular guide to have a mouse highlighter. Thank you Kevin! 🙌🔥💯
Why has Microsoft not already included this in the mouse options?
It has to be prioritized along with everything else. I'm sure with so many people working from home now and the need to instruct virtually, this may become a higher priority. Submit the feedback via Feedback Hub on Windows and that'll help with the prioritization. If enough people submit the feedback, that'll help to make sure it gets done.
Great video. Thorough but not excessive.
How to do *Zoom In and Zoom out* during Recording, I'd *tried Zoom in Software but it's not working* in my *Windows 7.* Sir can you help me with this.
