Limelight
Annotate your screen for webinars on a Mac
In a webinar your audience only has your screen to follow, so clear visual cues matter. Limelight lets you draw on screen and spotlight your cursor while you share in any webinar tool.
Webinars are one-way for most attendees, so they rely entirely on what you show. Without a way to circle a point or guide their eyes, important details slip past, and many webinar platforms give the presenter little or no on-screen markup.
Limelight is a menu-bar app that layers tools on top of your screen. Press ⌃⌥3 to draw freehand and mark up what you are sharing, and ⌃⌥C to clear it. Press ⌃⌥1 to spotlight your cursor and dim everything else so attendees focus on one spot. Both are overlays on your screen, so the webinar tool captures them and your audience sees exactly what you do.
It works over any webinar or meeting platform — Zoom Webinars, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Webex — and over whatever you present inside it. Limelight runs alongside your webinar software, so your broadcast controls stay the same.

FAQ
- Can I both draw and spotlight my cursor in a webinar?
- Yes. Use ⌃⌥3 to draw and ⌃⌥1 to spotlight the cursor. Each is a separate shortcut, so you can use either or both as you present.
- Does it depend on the webinar platform supporting annotation?
- No. Limelight draws on your screen itself, so it works regardless of whether your webinar tool has its own annotation feature.
