Description: When the laserpointer function of KDE connect is used in LibreOffice Impress in the presentation mode, the laserpointer marker (a ring) is displayed on the Impress slide on the PC screen, but not on the beamer Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download KDE connect 2. Set the connection to the beamer to an extended mode (that mode where you see the current and the next slide on your PC screen and the beamer only shows the current file) 3. Open an Impress file and start the presentation as described 4. Use the laserpointer function of KDE connect Actual Results: The laser pointer ring does not show up on the beamer, but only on your slide on the PC screen Expected Results: Laserpointer shows up on the beamer Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I am not sure if this is LibreOffice or KDE connect or maybe a little bit of both. I have reported the bug on the KDE bugtracker as well: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453750 So if this is not related to LibreOffice feel free to close the report. May drop a note in the KDE bugtracker. -------------------------------------------------- LibreOffice: - Version: 7.3.3.2 / LibreOffice Community - Build ID: d1d0ea68f081ee2800a922cac8f79445e4603348 - CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 - Locale: de-AT (de_AT.UTF-8); UI: de-DE - Flatpak - Calc: threaded KDE connect - Version: 1.19.1 - OS: Android 9 -------------------------------------------------- Operating System: KDE neon 5.24 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.13.0-41-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics Memory: 30.8 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR I'll try to test this on Windows in the next days

Laser pointer is not supported in Impress, no wonder it does not work with KDE connect either. Maybe implementing that feature will make this work magically, but for now I'm setting this as depending on that, in case more work is needed.

It sorta already works: When you mirror the display 1:1 to the beamer (and not use it as extended display) the laserpointer is already usable. That way you can not see the slides notes though.
