Cursor on screenshare must be shown!
After latest update cursor is no more visible while screen sharing to your friends. We want it back. Who wants to share screen without being able to show anything with cursor? On chrome version you can BTW...

NO CURSOR IN SCREENSHARE TEMPORARY FIX (not official)
Control panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Option -> (Tick this) Display pointer trials -> Slider (To shortest)
While it still sucks that your mouse will be doing some weird ninja shadow clone shit, it is still better than no cursor at all.
Hope this help!1 -
Removing simple features to see which ones we like and use a lot certainly isn't the right way to go about finding out our likes and dislikes about discord. I want to have that mouse back it is imperative not only in my gaming but other people have more important things they have to accomplish and the mouse is essential for those that really need it. Mine is just a want but others really need the mouse back.

I just got back home today and tested the screen-share feature and it appears this feature has returned for me. Anyone else notice this or is it still bugged?

Still nothing for me.

When I share screen the only time my viewers can see my cursor is when I share screen an entire window. However in order to do that, I have to give up screen sharing with sound. So basically I have to choose between having my viewers see my cursor or listening to the game or application. Pretty ridiculous

Please, make it an option. Hide this setting somewhere, but give it to us! Or at least some workaround would be great

According with https://twitter.com/discord/status/962806060787609602, it's just needed that Hardware Acceleration is disabled (more CPU usage, it seems haha). Worked for me just now.

So maybe try sharing "screen" and not "application." If you just share a single game/application the cursor is technically an overlay and not part of the application and won't show in the stream.
Hide any things you don't want on shared and stream/share your entire monitor. Worked for me.

Still nothing on MacOS... It does not make a difference, if I choose "screen" or "application", still no cursor...

Please add this feature asap. We got a Level 2 Server and need it all day. At the moment we are using external apps to highlight cursor, but that looks ugly and is a pain to use.

I am having the same issue on the Mac version of Discord. The cursor shows in "Window" sharing but not "Screen" sharing. Please fix!

Also on Mac, and also waiting for this "who decide to remove it, seriously ?" option. Cursor mouse is just a native part of everything, Ok you don't need it every time but it's not as binary as to remove it completely... What sharing tool will remove the best sharing clue on the screen ?

It works fine on windows now lol

Yeah, afaik it works well on Windows, but still not on macOS...It cannot be this hard to fix, right?

Are there any updates to this?
I am deeply disappointed that I can't share my cursor when doing a screenshare. I really need this feature.

Everyone here needs this feature and nobody on the discord team even answers here...maybe this is a waste of time. On the MacBooks of my colleagues the cursor is working when they only share a window and not the whole screen, with my MacBook no chance of the cursor showing up either way... I even set the Hardware Accelaration on and off, nothing helped for me.

I've reached out to Discord support and got this email back. Ill post it just incase it for some magical reason works for someone, but its unlikely as I'm skeptical that the feature exists at all.
"Uh oh. I'm so sorry to hear about the mouse cursor not showing when you screenshare.
Can you try a clean reinstall of the app to see if it helps? To do this, you'll need to remove the Discord files from your Application Support folder. Just follow the steps below:
1) Open Finder and click Go in the Menubar
2) Click Go to Folder
3) Type ~/Library/Application Support and delete the Discord folder in the window that appears
4) Click Go to Folder again
5) Type /Library/Application Support and delete the Discord folder here as well (if there is one present)
6) Drag Discord to your Trash
7) Empty your Trash
8) Restart PC
9) Redownload Discord
Here's an article for that as well: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/ 360022082931
If that didn't work though, could you please try using the PTB version and see if that works fine? You can download Discord PTB here: https://discordapp.com/api/download/ptb?platform=osx
Finally, kindly make sure that you double-check your System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording for Discord's permissions."I've followed these steps and unsurprisingly none of them worked. After playing around, I've now realized that the feature half works.. The cursor does show every time without fail but only when screen sharing a single application. The cursor will not show when screen sharing your entire screen.. which is where it would be most useful...
I will update this thread if I hear back from support.3 -
This is the reply I got from Discord Support.
"Thank you for providing this information and I apologize for the confusion here. This is actually an intended result. Screenshare, currently, doesn't display the mouse cursor on stream.
If you would like to see changes to these systems in the future, then you can definitely vote up the suggestions at feedback.discordapp.com."So ya.. we're hooped until they decide to put it back in..

It is finally there, we got the mouse cursor back on macOS! Screensharing with the mouse cursor after the last update is working!!

If you still have this bug, try placing the captured window on your main screen. Worked for me!
