Help with this "Mouse Highlight Overlay"

[flyfly]

Hi everyone, I just got the new M2 Air and when I move up the 3 fingers in the trackpad, to see the different desktops, I get this box called mouse highlight overlay and I can't get rid of it.

Does anyone know if this is normal or how can I get rid of it?

Do you use something like Loom, Slack, or Zoom for screen sharing? Highlight it, then press Command Q, and then the program should restart... which version of MacOS?

I manage to close it like that, but im worried maybe this is sharing my screen with third party apps I don't want.

I have deleted all the apps I saw in the settings, in privacy, screen recording and acces to disk. hopefully should be ok?

check the accessibility options (in system settings>accessibility); maybe something there..?..

which apps have you used/are you using for screen sharing? These are the obvious candidates - e.g. to deinstall if not really needed.
Addional check Screen Sharing & Sharing preferences and turn off what you do not use.

Hi guys! I deleted all the apps that were in the settings, accessibility, under "screen recording, remote control, etc", i rebooted, closed it with cmd+q and reboot again, and now i don't have this problem anymore!

I think it might be Loom that is causing the problem.
