AnyTab Laser Pointer
Extension Actions
Adds a laser pointer to any browser tab, making it easier for your audience to follow along during video calls.
*** NOW WITH GESTURE DETECTION AND AUTOMATIC HIGHLIGHTING!!! ***
Have you ever found yourself lost in a sea of mouse movements during a virtual presentation, desperately trying to keep up with where the presenter is pointing?
"AnyTab Laser Pointer" adds a laser trail to your mouse pointer (similar to the one on Google Slides) on ANY Chrome tab.
And YES... that includes spreadsheets!!!
Think of it as your on-screen spotlight, leaving a vivid trail in its wake, turning your mouse into a laser pointer that can cut through the most cluttered of spreadsheets, the busiest of designs, or the densest of texts.
No more digital hide and seek with the cursor, just a simple, clear path to follow.
With the "AnyTab Laser Pointer", your viewers will always be in sync, even if you're moving at the speed of light.
No more frantic pleas of "wait, where are you pointing?" or "could you go back a bit?".
Now, everyone can easily follow your digital dance across the screen.
This is not just an extension, it's your breadcrumb trail, your neon marquee in the bustling city of shared screens.
Point, Direct, Engage. It's that simple. Embrace the power of clarity, and never lose your viewers again!
PS: as a bonus, AnyTab Laser Pointer also tells you how many tabs you juggled in the last 24 hours!

- I enjoy watching my AnyTab Laser Pointer glide from place to place—trailblazing across my slides, circling essentials with grace. It sketches marks in clever shapes, sparking inspiration as I move from one small task to the next big presentation. Yes, it took a couple of hours to sync across all my browsers, but once it acclimated—oh, it flies! Smooth, intuitive, and energizing, it transforms every click into a moment of clarity. Thank you, AnyTab, for turning a simple pointer into a tool that feels like a creative partner. Praise God! :)
- Hetsh - Code
- Very good laser pointer, But not for phones, Only for Windows, ChromeOS, Mac etc.
- tasneem
- so good
- Nisse Stordiau
- Works perfectly for the pointer. The rectangle / circle outline are kinda random, i need to go veeery slow so it create the rectangle outline, (maybe my mouse speed is too high for it ?) BUT it always create little circle and little rectangle on it's own it is quite annoying. i think for solving that you could put a minimum size ouf outline (no one wnat to outline a tiny thing i guess ?) The setting is a bit old looking but work perfectly! I never was able to colorize, but, no big deal :)

- This laser pointer is so cool because I can paste any image as my mouse, and, my mouse has a trail when I quickly drag it across my screen.
- Keisaku
- cool
- Carlos Garcia De Vinuesa Gil
- very useful
- Temisan Omatsola
- its a great tool for enhancing my reading because of how smooth I can move the laser around . I highly recommend . I gave a four star as it seemed not to work on all tabs but it does for the tabs I want to use it for. A tip, refresh the tab and it probably works best then

- It's a good add-on for presentations, but it does not work with opened PDF or SVG files. It would be great if it worked with any tab, not only websites!

- Can sometimes be laggy, especially through a chrome cast but that will not be the extensions fault fully. I would give it a 5 star if there was a keyboard shortcut for turning it on and off.
