Whenever you want to highlight something in a page, you can use the zoom tool. Here’s how:

  1. Move your cursor wherever you want to zoom
  2. Hold Alt+Shift+E or Option+Shift+E in Mac to smoothly zoom in to the cursor.
  3. Keep the keys held down to stay zoomed in and following your cursor.
  4. When you’re finished, just release the keys and the page will zoom out.

Currently zoom is only available while recording and within your browser. It can’t be used before or after you’ve finished recording your video.

Note: Note that zoom is currently marked as experimental as it may not be effective in certain pages, and could conflict with other shortcuts.
