Abstract
Techniques for reducing network bandwidth for remote content display include storing, in a buffer, by a first client device of a plurality of client devices participating in a co-editing session, a plurality of cursor coordinates of a cursor displayed on a display of the first client device. The plurality of cursor coordinates are stored in the buffer during a throttle time period. Responsive to a determination that the throttle time period has elapsed, the first client device obtains from the buffer and transmits the plurality of cursor coordinates in a data packet. Receipt of the plurality of cursor coordinates enables a representation of the cursor to be displayed on displays of each of the plurality of client devices other than the first client device based at least in part on the plurality of cursor coordinates.
