How to change the cursor (pointer) size and colour on a ChromeBook.

There are numerous reasons for increasing the cursor (pointer) size and/or changing its colour while using a desktop computer. Whether it’s for accessibility or easy-to-follow screen sharing tutorials, its use offers many benefits.

I recently increased the cursor size and changed its colour to magenta on my ChromeBook to make the screen recordings for my how-to tutorials easier to follow.

In just a few steps, you can easily do so, too.

In today’s digital tip, we’ll go through the steps of changing the cursor size and its colour while using a ChromeBook.
