Limelight
Highlight your cursor for game streaming
In strategy games and tutorials your viewers need to see exactly where you are pointing. Limelight puts a spotlight on your cursor so it never gets lost in busy gameplay.
When you stream a strategy game, a base-builder, or a how-to guide, the screen is packed with detail and your cursor blends right in. Viewers cannot tell which unit or menu you are clicking, and your callouts lose impact.
Limelight runs from your menu bar and draws a glowing spotlight around your cursor on top of any game. Press ⌃⌥1 to turn the cursor spotlight on and it follows your pointer through the action. OBS and similar capture tools grab the overlay, so it reaches your stream and your VODs.
Ideal for streamers doing guides, walkthroughs, and strategy commentary on a Mac. The cursor spotlight is free forever, so you can keep your pointer visible on every stream without paying anything.
