Include mouse cursor in display recording

Open JFD23 opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

it would be great to see the mouse moving and pointing during screenrecording. It is a behaviour users are familiar with from other tools.

Yep, it would be great indeed. Sadly, the browser support for this feature is currently really bad (only Opera supports it). This means we can't do anything about it, until the browsers implement it. Also see this issue: https://github.com/elan-ev/opencast-studio/issues/185

I just searched for mouse and maus in the issue history before opening this one 🤦

FYI: recording the cursor already seems to work fine on Chrome (Ubuntu and Windows). Firefox does indeed not support it yet. But yeah, the caniuse data is outdated as it seems...

A colleague reported that it is also working on win10 with Edge V81.
