Cursor Presence: See teammates’ cursors in real time

When you’re working in a project at the same time as your teammates, Cursor Presence shows their cursors moving in the editor.

Plan availability

This feature is available on Business and Enterprise plans only.

How Cursor Presence works

When Cursor Presence is on, you’ll see your teammates’ cursors whenever they’re active in the same project.

  • The composition selector shows who’s currently working where. Composition selector showing collaborators active in each composition.
  • You’ll see collaborators making script edits in the script panel and visual edits in the Scene Editor when you're in the same scene. To see exactly what they’re adjusting, make sure you’re at the same playhead position — if you’re at different timestamps, their edits may not be visible to you.

Turn Cursor Presence on or off

Cursor Presence is a Labs feature you can toggle at any time. Open your App Settings, go to the Labs section, and switch Cursor Presence on or off.

Cursor visibility

Turning off Cursor Presence only changes what you see. You won’t see other people’s cursors, but teammates will still see yours if they have the feature on.
