Ever been giving a Zoom presentation or recording a tutorial and had someone say, “Wait — where’s your mouse? I can’t see what you’re clicking!”?
Here’s the dead-simple fix: a tiny free program that adds a bright, colorful spotlight/highlight circle around your cursor so everyone can follow along perfectly.
**Best Free Option: Mouse Pointer Highlight (100% Free, No Ads, No Nag Screens)**
- Turns your cursor into a bright yellow (or any color) dot + optional click rings
- Works on Windows 10 & 11
- Super lightweight – uses almost zero resources
- Perfect for screen recording, remote training, Zoom/Teams presentations, or helping Grandma over the phone
**Download directly from Microsoft Store (safest & always updated):**

(Or portable version from the developer: https://mousepointerhighlight.com/)
**My Favorite Paid Option (Worth Every Penny for Recording): Cursor Pro – $12.50 Lifetime**
I personally use this one for all Fireytech tutorial videos because:
- Huge customizable highlight circle (size, color, opacity)
- Left/right click animations in different colors
- “Magnifier” mode that zooms the area around your cursor
- Option to only activate when you hold a hotkey (so it’s not always on)
- No watermark, no pop-ups, lifetime license
Download Cursor Pro here: https://cursorpro.com/ (free trial available)
Both programs take under 10 seconds to install and start using – no restart required!
If you’re recording tutorials and want your videos to look 10× more professional (or you just get tired of saying “my mouse is the little arrow right… here”), grab one of these today.
