Limelight
Highlight your cursor in Discord screen share
When you screen share in Discord, your tiny pointer disappears into the stream. Limelight puts a spotlight on your cursor so your friends or community can follow along.
Discord screen share compresses your screen, and the small macOS arrow gets lost in it. Whether you are helping a friend troubleshoot or running through something with your community, people cannot tell where you are pointing.
Limelight lives in your menu bar and draws a glowing circle around your cursor on top of Discord. Press ⌃⌥1 to turn on the cursor spotlight and it follows your pointer wherever you move. Discord captures your screen as-is, so the spotlight is visible to everyone watching the share.
Useful for anyone running help sessions, study groups, or game tutorials over Discord on a Mac. The cursor spotlight is free forever, so every screen share can have a visible pointer at no cost.
