View Mode simulation cursor too tiny in all settings

I've tried multiple options - 1920x1080 resolution at 150%, 2560x1600 at 200%, nothing seems to help the cursor be anything other than nearly invisible. I've changed my laptop cursor in my PC settings but that doesn't impact the captured cursor. I can't change the size and color of a View Mode cursor after the fact. I don't recall this being an issue before. It's literally 15% the size of a regular cursor. If you look at the attachment, the piece of lint under the Next button is the cursor. Leadership is going to nix this product for demos if I can't fix this. Any tips? Thanks.

  • Storyline's screen recording feature captures the system cursor at its native size, which doesn't scale with Windows display settings.

    You could try one of these:

    1. Adjust Display Scaling:

    Before recording, set your display scaling to 100%.

    This ensures that the cursor is captured at its intended size.

    After recording, you can revert to your preferred scaling settings.

    2. Post-Recording Editing:

    If re-recording is out of the question, use video editing software to overlay a larger cursor or highlight the existing one.

    You could use tools like Adobe Premiere Pro or Camtasia can help you add visual emphasis to the cursor's position.
