I created a topic earlier where I specifically asked for a solution on how to hide the trackpad cursor when doing screen recording and no one helped me on that even the Samsung tech support.

Issue: Screen records the trackpad cursor visibility

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run screen record

2. Use any app

3. Move using the trackpad in the Samsung Keyboard that the tablet supports in this case the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ Keyboard

4. Stop the recording

If done right, the cursor is visible 

Solution: Should have a functionality to hide the trackpad cursor when doing screen recording.

Please respond regarding on how to hide the trackpad cursor as I tried methods and it did not work. Will an update fix this?

I do not believe there is a way to do that.  What appears on the screen shows in the recording.  You can show or hide taps and touches, so hiding the taps and touches *may* hide the cursor, but I don't know. Personally, I find videos/screen recordings hard to follow without seeing what's being tapped/touched, especially if the video is supposed to be instructional.  You could also just roll your cursor into a corner, hide taps and touches and roll your screen recording.

The problem with the cursor is that it appears every time I use the trackpad as a touch input mechanic in recording games. It used to do this very well before as it hide the cursor when I last played a game but now for some reason it doesn't do that.

As I said before, what's on the screen shows on the screen recording.  That's the whole point.

I'm talking about the cursor that shows up when i scroll using the trackpad. If i leave it it disappears but if it use the trackpad it shows it.

It's convenient to not see it when doing the screen recording. But in this case they did an update that shows it when I move. It's a problem because it affecting the visibility of the recorded footage.

It shows on the screen when you use it. If you are using it during screen recording, it will show on the screen.  I don't know how many ways there are to say - if it shows on the screen, it shows in the recording.  The only thing you can hide is taps and touches, because they are not embedded in the programming and do not appear on the screen.

If Samsung doesn't offer something that you wish for natively, there is something called the Google Playstore or Galaxy Store to get something that meets you needs.

As to your wanting a feature, you can in this app go to the feedback section in the support tab and ask for it.
