We explain how to include the mouse cursor in Mac screenshots. Use **⌘+Shift+5 → Options → Show Mouse Pointer** for persistent toolbar captures, or use `screencapture -C` with optional delay, interactive, or window flags. Screen recordings and Preview can also capture the cursor. The guide includes a comparison table, a Shortcut command, pointer-highlighting options, and fixes for custom cursors, multi-monitor offsets, greyed-out settings, and window captures. LazyScreenshots adds arrows and callouts and costs $29 one-time.
