While recording the screen on your Mac you may need to highlight part of the screen so that it can be better visible to the viewer. Not only at recording time, but you may also want to zoom a part of the screen at any time. In this how-to, we will learn how to zoom in/out in macOS.
Many people will suggest you download some zooming software but this is not required in Mac as it has a built-in zooming feature. Let’s get started. Jump to video tutorial
- Press and hold Option/Alt + Command and press ‘+=’ to zoom in
- Press and hold Option/Alt + Command and press ‘_-‘ to zoom out
