In the OS, at mouse driver level, there is "locator" and similar functions to highlight mouse pointer. Different capture sources (Display, Window, Game) of OBS, in different configurations (multi-GPU, single GPU etc), may grab it differently. If nothing helps, there are resources (scripts) for OBS that can change mouse pointer completely:

OBS Lua - cursor skin fx

Old thread, but I have just been looking for this. What I've found so far is you need to use an external cursor highlighter, then OBS can just capture it as part of the screen recording.

I've found 3 options (on windows):
  1. Microsoft Power Toys - Mouse Highlighter: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases
    Documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/mouse-utilities#mouse-highlighter
    Youtube guide: https://youtu.be/1v-FDg2whAot=218
  2. Auto HotKey (v1, not v2) + Cursor Highlighter script: https://sites.google.com/site/boisvertlab/computer-stuff/online-teaching
    Youtube guidee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CiZ5gAlQAw
  3. PenAttention: https://www.cse.uaa.alaska.edu/~afkjm/PenAttention/

Mac OS and Linux distros probably need same approach.
