PointerFocus is a Windows desktop presentation-assist tool from Easy-to-Use Software, aimed at presenters, teachers, trainers, online instructors, and software demo users. Its core purpose is not to serve as a full meeting or screen-recording platform, but to make it easier for viewers to see the mouse position, click actions, keyboard shortcuts, and key areas during screen sharing, teaching, livestreaming, or product demos.
Based on the available text, PointerFocus has a focused set of modules: a colored ring highlight around the mouse pointer, left/right-click animations, keystroke visualization, a mouse spotlight, a screen magnifier, and on-screen annotation pens. The spotlight can dim the screen while highlighting the area around the cursor; the annotation pen supports color, stroke width, and opacity settings; and the magnifier is used to show local details. The software supports hotkey switching, a toolbar, system tray operation, and dual monitors. The FAQ also notes that OBS users should use Display Capture, while Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet users need to share the entire desktop so others can see the effects.
The page does not disclose specific pricing, plans, or payment methods. The FAQ only states that licenses are user-based, and one license can be installed on 3 computers. Deployment is via a local Windows application, with support for Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP. There is also a free Floating Watermark tool, which can add dynamic screen watermarks and supports portable mode, but it is a companion tool rather than a full replacement for PointerFocusβs main features.
Its strengths are its very clear use case and its coverage of common pain points in teaching and software demonstrations. As a local tool, it requires no complex setup, and hotkeys plus a toolbar lower the barrier to use. It also provides practical usage tips for OBS and mainstream meeting software. The drawbacks are also clear: it explicitly supports only Windows, with no visible macOS, Linux, or browser version; there is no information on enterprise team permissions, centralized management, auditing, or compliance certifications; and it does not provide API, SDK, or third-party integration capabilities. For standardized procurement by large enterprises, the level of transparency is insufficient.
PointerFocus is better suited to individual instructors, training teams, developer evangelists, presales demo staff, and course-recording creators who want to improve screen-based explanations. Since the company is based in China, the collected information suggests it should be directly accessible from China; payment methods are not disclosed. If you only need basic annotation, you could consider built-in annotation tools in meeting software, Windows Magnifier, OBS-based setups, or other mouse-highlighting tools as alternatives.
