How to Display Original Cursor in Screen Studio

When recording your screen with Screen Studio, you might notice that your custom cursor doesn’t appear exactly as it does on your desktop. This is a common concern, especially if you need to show the original cursor in your videos.

Screen Studio replaces your original cursor with its own high-quality alternatives during recording. While this works well for standard cursors, it can create inconsistencies when you’re using custom cursors. The software’s cursor replacement system might not accurately represent your personalized cursor design, which can be frustrating if your cursor is part of your brand or teaching style.

For users who rely on custom cursors for their content or tutorials, maintaining the original cursor appearance is more than just a visual preference. It helps maintain consistency across your content and ensures your audience sees exactly what you’re working with.

Approach 1: Adjust Cursor Options in Screen Studio

While Screen Studio doesn’t currently support capturing the exact original cursor, there is a workable solution. You can adjust the cursor settings to get closer to your desired appearance:

1. Open Screen Studio settings
2. Navigate to cursor options
3. Enable the “always allow pointer cursor” option

This setting will make the recorded cursor look more similar to your original cursor, though it won’t be an exact match.

Approach 2: Using Borumi

If maintaining your original cursor is crucial for your recordings, Borumi offers a viable alternative. This screen recording software stands out because it:

• Captures your original cursor exactly as it appears
• Includes professional transitions and animations
