Google Workspace Updates: Collaborate with live pointers in Google Slides
Documents Google Slides live pointers, pointer visibility being off by default, controls to show or hide the user's pointer, persistent visibility across slides until disabled, and collaborator pointer visibility for co-creation.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live cursors | Choose live cursors when users need immediate spatial awareness of other collaborators' current pointer, caret, selection, viewport, or focus inside the same shared surface. | Sending cursor data updates ephemeral awareness state with coordinate, target, viewport, selection, identity, color, timestamp, and visibility preference, not the saved document content. | Google Slides live pointers document off-by-default pointer visibility, show and hide controls, and collaborator pointer display. |
