# Why do I see two cursors on my uploaded recording?

> Tutorial AI hides its AI-smoothed cursor on uploaded videos by default — if you see two, turn Hide cursor back on in the Cursor menu.

Section: Help Center › FAQ

When you record directly with the **Chrome Extension** or **Desktop Recorder**, Tutorial AI captures the screen without the system cursor and redraws its own AI-smoothed cursor on top — so you never see two.

Uploaded recordings are different. Your file already contains the original cursor in the video pixels, and Tutorial AI can't remove it. To avoid a double-cursor, Tutorial AI switches the **Hide cursor** toggle in the **Cursor menu** on automatically the moment you import a video — the AI-smoothed cursor is still generated, but hidden.

If you're seeing two cursors, that toggle has been turned off at some point. Open the **Cursor menu** at the bottom of the Editor and turn **Hide cursor** back on — the AI-smoothed cursor disappears from the preview immediately, so you don't need to generate the video to verify the fix.

> ⚠️ **The original cursor can't be removed from an uploaded recording.** It's baked into the video pixels you provided. Once **Hide cursor** is on, only your original cursor appears in the final output. To use Tutorial AI's AI-smoothed cursor instead, record directly with the [Chrome Extension or Desktop Recorder](https://www.tutorial.ai/en/articles/13687915-desktop-recorder-vs-chrome-extension) rather than uploading a file.
