Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When presenting a software demo on a big screen (people looking at it from a distance), the mouse cursor in the demo can be hard to follow. The same can happen when looking at recordings on a phone.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option to highlight the mouse cursor without any buttons being pressed.
The existing mouse click feature already has all the mouse positions available, and can be extended with a new option for the highlight color. :)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Longer demos with more explanations. :(
