SUMMARY The mouse's pointer isn't visible when one shares screen on wayland. This is useful when presenting, because being able to point at things you're talking about makes it easier. This happens when sharing either specific windows or the full screen, using the Firefox screen-sharing function. Is this something that needs to be fixed by the browser, or Plasma's wayland implementation?

Please report this issue to firefox developers. If this is a kwin bug, reopen this bug report.
There is an issue in the Firefox bug-tracker: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1626883 But there isn't yet any information on what the cause is.
The same issue is also being discussed in Mutter/Gnome: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1184 One of the folks seems to suggest that it is an issue with Pipewire; that they haven't yet implemented "cursor metadata", but there seem to commits to that end: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/search?group_id=10138&project_id=4753&repository_ref=master&scope=commits&search=cursor+metadata&snippets=false and no open issues about this problem. So I'm not sure where the issue is.
