With some type of windows, it's not possible to hide the mouse pointer. It's a Windows thing, nothing OBS can do about. Be happy: in previous OBS releases, it wasn't possible to capture these types of windows at all. B

I have a fix to that tho. Try putting the window you wanna capture in the other display (just dont put it in the same display where you use your OBS). In that way, your mouse will less likely to be captured. But, the downside, you need to put another display which will use some resources. Hope this helps though. :) A

It's clearly not a windows problem. Streamlabs OBS supports this. I'll just have to switch to that program until this is fixed. P

I have the same problem. Want to stream a Chrome window and on this new version it is not possible. Earlier version of OBS this was not an issue. Can this be fixed?? Can we download the previous version somewhere? P

I downloaded 24.0.3 and the option is back. Just have to disable HW acceleration in Chrome

Double click on your window source and change "Capture method" to BitBlt an then uncheck "Capture Cursor" Note if you use this method you must disable "Hardware accelleration" in Google Chrome.

If you want to capture Chrome window, go to Chrome settings > Use hardware acceleration when available [OFF] then you're good to go D

This solution worked for me, hope it helps:

Hide cursor with Windows Graphics Capture method

I compiled libraries from official github to allow hiding the cursor using the Windows Graphics Capture method. You need to replace libobs-winrt.dll in bin folder. Do NOT forget to create a backup of libobs-winrt.dll. (For x64 is C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit) 32 bits... obsproject.com A

We can hide cursors in projector but not in normal view Seems that OBS creators have to work more D

Right-click your capture source > Properties > uncheck Capture Cursor. Ignore me... I should be sleeping instead.
