How to Highlight Mouse Pointer Windows 10

In this step-by-step tutorial video, learn how to highlight your mouse cursor to make it easier for your audience to follow your mouse movements and clicks. The two options that I feature in this video are entirely free. Highlighting your mouse pointer is especially valuable during presentations, demos, remote teaching, and screen recording. Follow along to find out how to make this work on Windows 7, 8, and 10. At the end, I also show you how to turn on mouse highlighting within OBS or Open Broadcaster Software.
