  This video is mostly a screen recording, with the mouse cursor recorded separately from the screen itself. Software like [ScreenFlow](https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm) can do this. The "zoom in and move" animations, along with the gradient background could have been made in [After Effects](https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/aftereffects.html).
  
  If you're on a budget, you could make something similar using the built in [Screen Recorder in Quicktime Player](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/quicktime-player/qtp97b08e666/mac) and animate it afterwards using the free [Davinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve), or another free editor like CapCut.
  
  The video isn't "interactive" in the traditional sense - a user presses play then watches the video linearly. It's no [Bandersnatch](https://www.wired.com/story/bandersnatch-black-mirror-episode-explained/).
