When a multimedia conference between multiple users at multiple locations is established, a first cursor controlled by a first user in a first location is provided. A first event associated with the multimedia conference is detected. In response to detecting the first event associated with the multimedia conference, control of cursors in the multimedia conference can be handled in various ways to enhance the multimedia conference. For example, control of the first cursor can be switched from the first user to a second user at a second location, a second cursor can be provided to the multimedia conference that is controlled by the second user, or control of the first cursor can be merged so that the first cursor can be controlled by both the first user and the second user. This allows for enhanced control of the cursor in the multimedia conference that more closely resembles an in-person conference.
