The virtual machine os does not support mouse pointer integration – CentOS

I was trying to set up a VM via Oracle Virtual Box in my MacBook.

Host OS: Mac

Application: Oracle Virtual

VM OS: CentOS 7

While I’m trying to start the OS installation I found that mouse capturing of the VM is not working correctly.

Observation: Once the mouse pointer captured in the VM, It’s not
visible as expected

And also I got a pop-up message related to this;

Pop-up message: The virtual machine reports that the guest os does
not support mouse pointer integration in the current video mode

    I had this message when I tried copying to/from Terminal to outside text and vice versa.

    I could enable it from the VBox interface once the Guest OS has started!

    Devices --> Shared Clipboard --> to Bidirectional
