Shadow circle highlight used by Treehouse Teachers

Does anyone knows which app/function is used by Treehouse Teachers in the videos to highlight a particular area of the screen? I am going to make a business presentation and that should be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot!!

The same spotlight highlight effect is available via a stand alone utility "Mouseposé" by Boinx software. It can be used on all screen output.
