It doesn't record mouse clicks which is a shame. And it lags when I record my screen. Well, every single time I move my mouse, I see more circles. I wouldn't quite recommend this if you are doing tutorials for your students or clients
Is 5 stars worth, but can I suggest a feature? Maybe it would be an idea to add an option to turn off the highlighter. Especially with short use oftenly, it is a missing thing that you can not turn it off quickly instead of reloading the website (on sites like Google or Bing images then you have to scroll forever after a reload to come back on the place on the page where you left off, and there are many more examples that reloading a page is not desired). Would be my fifth star worth.
You have to keep clicking back on the extension to continue having a highlight if the page reloads. Very frustrating when trying to demo a cloud-based application.
It works... but not quite. The problem is that it ONLY works in a new tab :(
