* In [[Windows 8]] and above, visual touch feedback displays a translucent circle where the finger makes contact with the screen, and a square when attempting to touch and hold to right-click. A swipe is shown by a translucent line of varying thickness. Feedback can be switched on and off in Pen and Touch settings of the [[Control Panel (Windows)|Control Panel]] in [[Windows 8]] and [[Windows 8.1]] or in the [[Settings (Windows)|Settings]] app on [[Windows 10]], and feedback can also be made darker and larger where it needs to be emphasized, such as when presenting. However, the touch pointer is normally less commonly visible in touchscreen environments of Windows operating systems later than Windows 7.
* The mouse-over or hover gesture can also show a [[tooltip]], which presents information about what the pointer is hovering over; the information is a description of what selecting an active element is for or what it will do. The tooltip appears only when stationary over the content. A common use of viewing the information is when browsing the internet to know the destination of a [[Hyperlink|link]] before selecting it, if the [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] of the text is not recognizable.
** When using touch or a pen with Windows, hovering when supported or performing a set gesture or flick may show the tooltip.
