So, I don't have a Mac and was having "computer envy" today during the EdTech Google Summit I attended this morning watching my presenter zoom in to the toolbar on the screen.
I was giving a presentation about Google Sheets and the display screen I had to use in the room was pretty small. But, other than a Chrome Extension (Zoom) which works great but is "fixed" to the top left corner, or the built-in Magnifier in Windows 10, which just looks nutty with bars all around my screen, my Windows 10 laptop just doesn't have a great option (especially when typing in formulas!).
Enter my quick Googling to locate a freeware program called Zoomit (and it's not new; this is from 2013). Anyway, it has a dynamic zoom feature... simply run it in the background and use Control+4 to zoom up and press it again to zoom back to normal.
I will say neither my Chrome Extension Nimbus screen recorder nor Screencastify would record the screen zoom (odd). But, Screencast-o-matic.com did, though. You can see how it looked here:
Hope this helps someone! :) If you know a better way, let me know, but this was easy, breezy, beautiful!
