Limelight

Highlight your cursor in a design review call on a Mac

During a design review over Zoom or Meet, reviewers lose your small cursor as you move across the screen. Limelight spotlights your pointer so everyone follows your point.

In a design review, you are scanning across layouts, components, and specs, but a plain arrow is hard to track on a shared screen. Reviewers fall behind and ask you to slow down or point again.

Limelight is a macOS menu-bar overlay. Press ⌃⌥1 to wrap your cursor in a glowing spotlight so it is easy to follow as you move around the design. Because Limelight draws on top of everything, the spotlight shows over Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams, and over whatever you are reviewing — Figma, a prototype, or a browser. Press ⌃⌥1 again to turn it off.

For deeper feedback, add freehand drawing with ⌃⌥3 to circle specific elements, then ⌃⌥C to clear. The spotlight keeps a fast-moving review easy for everyone to track.
