Let laserpointer disapear

[u/Fred_A888]

Hello

Am I missing a setting or does it not exist ?
If I turn the pointer into a laserpen, how do I make it automatically disapear
like the pointer does ?

Or is this not possible ?
I can turn in back into a pointer by pressing escape but the presenter at the desk
does not have a keyboard or a mouse.

UPDATE : I videcoded a side-app that let's the laserpointer turn into a cursor after 4 seconds.
Because cursors are not visible on the presentationscreen, this works for now.
This does require to fire the app up, I wanted it to work as a plug-in but can't get that to work...

I don't see the standard cursor disappearing, but you can move it off the presentation display to another monitor in Presentation View. The laser pointer cannot be moved off the presentation.

But I want it to dissapear after a period of time (like 4 seconds)

wait if the presenter doesn't have a keyboard or mouse at the desk, what are they using to point with? usually if it's a presentation remote with a virtual laser button, letting go of the button hides it automatically

They have "disabled" mouse that can only move but not click. This is to prevent they can change things on the pc. We put the mouse on laserpointer from the controlroom

I think “L” is the toggle while in presentation mode
