OBS Studio Cursor skin

Selected source will follow mouse pointer. Using obs_sceneitem_set_pos

Installation

• Install pynput package from pypi
• Make sure your OBS Studio supports scripting python -m pip install pynput

Limitations

• Multiple monitors setup will not work .
• If used in fullscreen apps, offset will appear.

Usage

• Create a source with desired cursor(e.g Image source or Media source).
• In scripts select that source name.
• Make a group, add Display Capture, Window Capture.

• To crop, crop the group, the size should still have the same ratio as your monitor even if you scale it
• To set offset/calibrate, use the Display Capture to see mouse and adjust it at Scripts (or use Tab/Shift+tab to navigate, if in Window Capture, to not move mouse). You have to do this every time you change the Group scale/move it

• Test it: press Start, press Stop, tweak refresh rate.

Web rendered mouse cursor trails

• Add browser source with mouse tracking local or online web page.
• Make sure to set resolution as your monitor (base)
• Fill all entries, check Use browser source

Zoom

Have you ever needed to zoom in on your screen to show some fine detail work, or to make your large 4k/ultrawide monitor less daunting? Zoom and Follow for OBS Studio does exactly that, zooms in on your mouse and follows it around. Configurable and low-impact, you can now do old school Camtasia zoom ins live

See: Zoom and Follow , source code

Example cursors

They all have some level of transparency.

• yellow circle
• red circle
