Is there a way to hide the presentation laser pointer in OSX?

[Regis 0]

The laser pointer can be an interesting feature. However, I like to zoom in and out while presenting and, the pointer is often in my way. It is not very nice to see this long trail when you don't need to point to something in particular.

 

Is there a way to hide it?

 

If not I would like a to see a future feature adding a fourth option in the color picking which would be "no pointer".

 

Thank you
