Live Cursor

Live Cursor

Live cursors help you stay in sync with your Spacemates while collaborating in real time. You can see where others are in the Space, what they’re working on, and even follow their cursor to stay on the same page.


What live cursors do

  • Show your Spacemates’ presence and position on the canvas

  • Display their names and unique personality cursors

  • Help you understand where others are focused in the Space


How to follow a Spacemate’s cursor

If a Spacemate is explaining something and you want to follow along:

  1. Open the Spacemates pane from the top bar.

  2. Hover over the Spacemate’s name.

  3. Click Navigate with Spacemate. 

Your view will now follow their cursor as they move around the Space.


Idea
