The Automatic arm as a mouse feature allows you to control if the FARO arm is always considered a mouse.

If the feature is ON, the FARO arm will always be used as a mouse, even if you turn the mouse feature OFF in the main interface.

 

In versions of VTube-LASER after October 19, 2023 (with version 4.2.1332 or higher), this is now a global configuration value.

Since this setting is now stored in the global configuration file, turning the feature ON or OFF changes the behavior for all projects.

For older versions, the value was stored in the default project setup file. Therefore, in older versions of VTube-LASER, saved project files could change this value when loaded.
