Bring back Red pointer (Spotlight tool)

Bring back Red pointer (Spotlight tool)

We need you to bring back the red circular pointer from the original version.  We are a landscape construction firm who uses the platform to present CAD and photo concept images to clients.  The red pointer was the only instrument we used while using GoToMeeting as we hover over all the new elements of our designs.   Clients typically use GTM on their tablets and are unable to follow or see our cursor when we present due to their smaller screen size.  We even tried increasing the size of our cursor and/or changing the color of it, but unfortunately your program defaults it to the standard small size white center, black outlined cursor.  A further concern is when we present our second monitor, the cursor is not visible on the attendees monitor.  This was not a problem on the prior version.  Why were these basic items removed from the new version, please return them to the platform.  

We are aware of the highlighting tool on the new version, but it is overkill for our needs.  A simple red pointer is essential.  Thanks

@VLandscaper thanks for bringing your feedback to the GoTo Community. We will pass this on to the team. One possible work around for now is to set the drawing tools to transparent and to fade out then it acts like a highlighter that fade away after a second.

Hi @GTT_User, enhancements to the drawing tools are planned for this year and we will update the community once they are ready for release.
