Logitech Spotlight does not work with Ventura

Just connected my logitech spotlight remote to a MBP m1 via bluetooth. It was recognized as a mouse. Logitech presentation software does not see it. No spotlight feature but slide advance & back work fine. Will connect a receiver when I get a usb-c to usb adapter and see if functionality changes.

I'm glad to hear there is a solution but I got a little lost at the end of your instructions. May I ask that you give more detail on the "Show Original" part? I can find the item I would like to add and when I right-click on it I can see the "Show in Finder" - The next part is unclear. Do I right-click the exact same icon I right-clicked the first time? or the new icon that has just popped up in the new finder window that has opened? I have tried both ways and I do not see any option to "Show Original" I would really appreciate a speedy reply as I am facilitating in the morning and this would make a nice difference to the event! Thank you.

Thanks a lot. You helped me solve my problem. At first I gave permission only at: Privacy & Security > Input Monitoring. I did not give permission to the second one: Privacy & Security > Accessibility. When I did, it worked perfectly.

Key takeaways for those who might end up here lately from Google search

- Spotlight should work fine on MacOS 13.4 Ventura, both via dongle or bluetooth, with LogiPresentation 2.00.43

- There’re two permissions under System Settings > Privacy & Security that you need to pay attention to

Input Monitoring —> you’ll be asked to give the app permission to input monitoring, otherwise, you won’t be able to finish installing the LogiPresentation app

Accessibilities —> after finishing LogiPresentation installation, check the permission for Accessibilities again. Remove the current LogiPresentation permission using ‘-‘ minus button, and add it back again using ‘+’ button. DO TAKE NOTE that you’ll need to locate the original path of the app at /Library/Application Support/Logitech/Logitech Presentation.app not the Logi Presentation alias/shortcut that you might find in the Applications folder

Thanks, everyone, and RedJackPL for these findings

finally the fix that worked:

Hi! Had this problem for weeks since buying new macbook pro. On old one everything worked. Was in contact with logitech support for weeks, all they asked was install/reinstall, give permissions. None worked. Even bought second presenter to check if old one is broken.

But i found this and all functions works (not thanks to logitech support):

-in accessibility tab: You have to REMOVE logipresentation

-then add with '+' find logipresentation in aps folder - but DO NOT ADD THIS ONE

-right click on logipresentation, 'show in finder', then right click on it again, 'show original'

-add this one

then all functions works, both with dongle and bluetooth.

cheers

Hi BentAgent...I have problem with the magnifier...he froze with the first image I tried in the desktop. It opens well, but with the image of the desktop still...even if it´s in power point...for example.

Do you know something about ???

Thanks

SORTED!

It seems when we give Logitech app permission it's not the app we've giving permission to but it's an alias we're offered in the dropdown menu. This solved it for me also:

-in accessibility tab: You have to REMOVE logipresentation

-then add with '+' find logipresentation in aps folder - but DO NOT ADD THIS ONE

-right click on logipresentation, 'show in finder', then right click on it again, 'show original'

-add this one

Thanks so much for suggesting this fix! I had the same problem when moving to a new macbook pro with Sonoma. Reinstalling the software (and giving permissions) didn't work (next/back button would not respond but pointer features worked), until I applied your tricky tip for Accessibility..

Open the app LogiPresentation. Connect your Spotlight device...typically by pressing the big button...

Once it is connected, go to the LogiPresentation App > Pointer Multiple > Highlight (slide on).

You might want to ask Logitech about Ventura compatibility.

If anyone finds this question: Logitech released an updated software that supports Ventura

See this:

Select the LogiPresentation at

Cheers!

Did you have any luck with Logitech? I just bought the same Logitech Spotlight Presenter for a presentation this week, and it's not working.
