# \&nocursor

General Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md), [`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md), [`&view`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view.md), [`&scene`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene.md))

## Details

This does not hide the mouse cursor for Chrome-based screen capture, as Chrome [does not yet support that](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaTrackConstraints/cursor#browser_compatibility). This feature is designed for hiding the mouse when using the [Electron Capture](/steves-helper-apps/electron-capture.md) app, to avoid mousing over the capture area by accident.

Works better in Windows than on macOS, due to OS-level limitations.

If you're looking to hide the cursor while screen-recording, consider using OBS to capture and OBS Virtual Cam as the source into VDO.Ninja. You can also check out: <https://github.com/rdp/screen-capture-recorder-to-video-windows-free> as an option to turn a screen into a virtual camera without needing OBS.
