Application Cursors in Adobe Connect

I use Adobe Connect a lot. Either doing remote presentations myself or attending the presentations and demonstrations of others. Something that always bothers me is when I’m in a session and the presenter apologizes during the demonstration that the application cursor is hidden by Connect.

This used to be the case (Connect has it’s own default cursor which overrides any application cursor changes) – but for a long while now those of us who run meetings have been able to choose to show application cursors in Connect.

How come no one knows this?!?

Even Adobe doesn’t seem to understand that this is an option when doing a demonstrative webinar around Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash Professional… the application cursor in these creative application is dynamic and constantly changes depending on the tool you have selected, the action you are attempting to perform, and even keyboard modifier keys selected.

Bit of a rant here – but please, please, please use this feature when doing software demos over Connect! Thanks :)
