Not disappearing mouse pointer on the MacBook

I Have a MacBook Pro M3 Pro, and right now, I am using Infuse 8 player for watching movies or video clips. When I watch a movie in full screen on my Mac, after 20 or 25 minutes without touching my computer at all without touching the trackpad or even connected Bluetooth mouse and even touching the table on which my Macbook is, the mouse pointer appears and stays like that, like I touched the trackpad or mouse, I have to touch my mouse to make it disappear so that I can continue watching my movie, the same thing happens when I connect my Macbook to a TV via HDMI cable and watching movies on my TV in full screen. I tried to understand why it happened, I checked the Mac settings, I checked the player settings, and nothing. Ok, I thought maybe that player had some issues. I downloaded another player called IINA. The same problem happened with the IINA player too. Can someone help me to understand why it happens, is there any solution

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.2

is there no default built into the macOS....(?)


Never heard of "Infuse 8 player" or "IINA"...

if this is a third party issue—if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates…
