Screen sharing options
For more efficient and productive screen sharing sessions you can customize the look and feel of the cursor and highlight the spot you see when meeting participants share their screens. This way you will be able to adjust the screen sharing sessions appearance to your needs: either display a bright cursor drawing attention to the items pointed during the session, or make the cursor look less obtrusive.
You can access these settings from the "Options" menu and update cursor size and highlight spot color, size and opacity depending on your requirements.
