Hello. Please try incognito mode. I can't reproduce it.

I tried in incognito and also using Edge browser (chromium based). Same thing. I'll update to win11 and maybe that will fix it.

If it cannot be reproduced, there's no point on having this issue open. I'll close it.

Thanks!!

I just realized that the blue dot disappears when using the full screen of webRTC mode. Can you tell me if you can reproduce in webRTC mode?

Thanks

Edit: I'm now running in Windows 11 and same chrome version.

Yes, I tried incognito mode. Must be something else. Anyway, direct mode works for me, I'll use it that way.
Same as before, if you can't reproduce, there's no point on keeping the issue open.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to try and reply! Keep on the amazing work!!!

Maybe you're using the relative mouse mode?

No. These are the settings.

The dot is shown, but after going fullscreen using the "go to fullscreen mode" button in the kvm interface, the dot disappears after a few seconds.

Edit: This is likely the Host OS issue.

If this is a host issue, I can't fix it :(
