I always go top right. It doesn't interfere with the bar with the controls and it's ALMOST invisible. But if I leave the computer with the cursor in the top right I have to see it before I can move it out of it's place. What corner of the screen do you guys move your mouse…s… mice… too?

Killing a child is an inhumane act, not leaving a cursor on a screen whilst playing a video. Bad choice of words. While I agree that the presence of the cursor can be distracting, my advice is to try to force to focus your attention on the video itself, even when you have control of the cursor. If you do it enough times you'll adjust to its appearance and it will not longer distract you in class. Tom, my thoughts exactly.

The worst thing is, the cursor AND the bar with the controls/time on it were showing. Whenever I can see the time, I always calculate how long I have left until the end/the middle/etc. Today in class, I had to tell my teacher to move her cursor at about 20 seconds into a video.
