Comments.Text: @LetTheWritersWrite Nope. Wasn't a Blender question. But your answer answered it for me. I guess this is a Blender feature. If you answer below, I'll mark it correct. Bonus if you also put a link to the actual plugin.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-10-25)
  
  One of the challenges, in creating a tutorial video via screen video capture, is that it becomes a challenge to make obvious which mouse action was used to produce a certain action on the screen.
  
  The creator of [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhN3X3MvD4) has a little mouse icon in the bottom left of the screen (see image below) that makes clear whether he's using the left, the middle, or the right mouse click button action.
  
  [![screen video capture, with mouse icon in bottom left that indicates which mouse action is being performed (left, middle, or right mouse click)](https://i.sstatic.net/kQNUN.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/kQNUN.jpg)
  
  How does one add such a mouse icon (or alternatively, which software allows this) to a screen video capture? (I've asked the original creator on multiple fora, but haven't heard back for months).
