This looks like just bad UI design. The option to include the pointer
already exists but it's disabled by default and not obvious because the
button looks exactly like the mouse pointer itself (bottom right of the
dialog). Please select that option in the screen recorder dialog before
starting the recording.

Title:
Mouse toggle in the screenshot/screencast dialog is hard to discover
that it's a button
Status in GNOME Shell:
Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Press the Print Screen button, select the Record Screen option and
then press capture [1]. The screen recording works as expected however
does not display the mouse cursor making it hard to use the screen
capture for a tutorial without using a third-party capture device.
The screen cast should capture the mouse pointer by default. Or [1]
you include an option to show/hide the mouse pointer in the recording.
