Limelight
Keep every student following your lecture
In a large class or a recorded lecture, students lose your cursor across dense slides, code, and diagrams. Limelight spotlights your pointer, shows the shortcuts you press, and lets you annotate live over anything.
A lecture lives or dies on whether students can follow what you are pointing at. On a projector, a video call, or a Panopto recording, the default cursor is far too small, and the shortcuts you use vanish without a trace.
Limelight adds the three cues that fix this: a glowing cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1), an on-screen keystroke display (⌃⌥2) so software steps are teachable, and freehand drawing (⌃⌥3) to circle the key equation or line of code. It works over Keynote, PowerPoint, PDFs, a code editor, or a browser.
It runs the same live and recorded, over Zoom, Meet, or Panopto, and is a one-time $15 that fits a department or personal budget — no subscription.
