How to Use Cursor Chat in Figma

Use this interactive demo to learn how to send real-time cursor messages to collaborators in Figma.

Quick summary

Cursor Chat in Figma lets collaborators send real-time messages that appear directly next to your cursor during a live design session. It is a fast, lightweight way to communicate without leaving the canvas or switching to an external tool.


Steps

  1. Right-click anywhere on your Figma design canvas to open the context menu.
  2. Select Cursor Chat from the context menu options.
  3. Type your message in the Cursor Chat input field.
  4. Your message will appear next to your mouse cursor, visible to your co-designer for a few seconds before it disappears.

📌 Why this matters

Cursor Chat in Figma enables real-time, in-canvas communication between designers without interrupting the creative workflow. Instead of switching to Slack or leaving the design file, collaborators can send instant messages directly tied to their cursor position, making it easy to give contextual feedback or flag specific design elements. This feature reduces friction in collaborative design sessions and keeps all communication focused on the work at hand. For design teams working simultaneously in Figma, Cursor Chat is a simple but powerful tool for staying aligned without breaking focus.
