On discord using fedora linux, when screensharing, it works, but my cursor doesn’t show(so it shows the screen, but not cursor), does anyone else have the same problem as me? and if you know, how can i solve it?

    I use Vesktop. It works there for me at least.

    Generally Discord is weird with streaming, especially on Wayland.

    Is there a difference when sharing the whole screen versus sharing only a single window?

    You could use a virtual camera like the one included in OBS to share your screen with the cursor showing, but that probably won’t share desktop audio by default.

      no, there is no difference, but i noticed that when i fullscreen the stream, my cursor shows, but when i go out it disappears, it seems to disappear into nothing.

    Some screenshare software has a setting you need to toggle to then have the mouse show. I would look into your screen share settings and check for a toggle like that,

      What a stupid question. To show users where to click. Helpfull to help explain a program or anything else.
