If your pointer is enlarged
When the pointer is made bigger in System Settings, macOS draws it into the picture of your screen, so it would show in your video. A note at the top of the bar tells you: “Your pointer is enlarged in System Settings, so recordings will show a big cursor.” Click Open Settings to change the pointer size in System Settings › Accessibility › Display, or × to hide the note until Framecast opens again.
