Various embodiments described herein include one or more of systems, methods, and software operable to identify a location of or position a gesture tool, such as a mouse pointer or cursor, within a web conference display. Some embodiments may communicate an identified location of a gesture tool within a user interface control of a web conference presenter to web conference participants. The communicated location of the gesture tool may cause the gesture tool to be displayed in a corresponding location within a display of a web conference participant despite differences between a view of the presenter and participant. The gesture tool may include a pointer under the control of a mouse, a cursor, or other gesturing tool. Some embodiments include a web conference recording module operable to record data associated with a web conference, including gesture tool positioning data.
