Microsoft Teams -- Change mouse cursor in Illustrator

I am using Microsoft Teams on Windows 10 (please don't ask why not Zoom) to teach an Adobe Illustrator class this Fall for the second time. I make sure to change screen resolution to HD, to give students a chance to better see the icons and elements as I operate the software. I was investigating the use of a utility to increase the size of the mouse cursor in Teams, while sharing my Illustrator screen, to further help direct student's attention but, before I go down that path, has any of you ever tried this? Seems to me this is likely going to coinflict with Illustrator's need to manage the mouse icons throughout the use of the program? 

Thank you in advance for your kind help and experience.

I tried Mouse Highlight and all it did was to create a "yellow" semi-translucent circle around the cursor. All the Adobe Illustrator cursors worked. I guess that's problem solved.

I have used Teams for teaching, but

- I'm on a Mac

- I have used it via Chrome

- didn't change resolution or anything

- it's a 13" notebook anyway

 

That process worked. There was no complaint that they couldn't recognize stuff.
