Hiding Cursor/Pointer in Full Screen

Hello,

I am watching an offical Apple Key Note in Safari and the cursor/pointer won't go away even when I am in full screen. I'm on the Macbook Air M, Safari version 14.0.3 and Big Sur 12.2.3. I'm using touchpad and no other bluetooth device is connected my macbook.

The cursor is visible even I am playing some Arcade games. It's hidden when watching a movie via VLC. The only solution I have foudn so far is using a third party app to manually hide it.

The pointer in a Keynote v11.0.1 full-screen presentation will disappear in about 2 seconds — provided you are not touching the mouse or trackpad and using the arrow keys to navigate between slides, or the Esc key to end the presentation.

Thank you for staying with me. I quit all apps and had only Safari running. No other device was connected to my mac. The Keynote was full-screen and the pointer just stayed there. It disappears when I use VLC or IINA in full-screen.

That's exactly what I was expecting to happen. It didn't disappear even after a minute. And no, I wasn't touching anything.

Try running the Keynote full-screen presentation without any other application running that might activate that mouse or trackpad input device.
