How to zoom in on your desktop

If you are sharing your desktop or an app (not a single window) you can zoom in using any preview window or using Video Pencil running on your iPad.

In a preview window

You can use the Live Camera, Teleprompter Window or any document where the camera preview is active.

Zoom in by pinching on your trackpad or the scroll wheel or gesture on your mouse.

To pan, click and drag with the left mouse button.

Use the Reset Zoom button to go back to full size. zoom-desktop-live-camera-silent.gif

Via iPad

Video Pencil displays your camera preview directly on your iPad so you can see where you’re drawing.

If you’re sharing your desktop, it allows you to use a pinch gesture to zoom in.

You can also drag with two fingers to pan around the zoomed desktop.

Use the Reset Zoom to go back to full size.
