I apologize for the quality, windows does not have any built in way to take screenshots with the mouse cursor, so I ended up having to use their shitty step recorder tool

edit: yes yes I know I was wrong I understood after the first comment

    windows does not have any built in way to take screenshots with the mouse cursor

    Whilst this comment isn’t really related to the popup itself, why couldn’t you use the native screenshot capability (e.g. Snipping Tool)? It’s entirely navigable by mouse cursor if you want, and available to every Win10/11 user. I’m not sure what other type of problem / limitation you’re trying to describe here…

    Window key-shift-S;

    Try the rectangle select option. You can also set options to include the mouse, etc, after a delay

    The irony of buying a paper version of a book about pdfs really gets me

    ShareX, it’s on the MS app store. Open source free software, clip screenshots and even videos as gif or MP4.

    I forget the key combo…

    alt + PrtScrn

    or

    ctrl + PrtScreen

    Open up your image app, paste from clipboard. file - save as… bingo, “built in screen shot”.

    one of the shortcuts does “current active window” and one does the whole display.

    Windows has a built-in screenshot tool that’s already been mentioned, but I’ve been using Greenshot for a while and it works well. Print Screen button as a shortcut and it freezes the screen while you draw a rectangle to screenshot, so if you want the mouse pointer in the shot you just put it in the right spot and hit Print Screen.

      It’s a fake X button, clicking it does nothing. (This is why I wanted the screenshot to have the cursor, if something is clickable it usually turns to a hand icon)

    Overlaying the button with another ad is another good strategy.
