if you're into presentations or teaching something through screen sharing with
others you know you cannot annotate highlight or zoom into the screen while
presenting this is possible in some presentation softwares like Microsoft
PowerPoint for example to some extent but not without showing the audience
what you are actually doing in front of them so something like this one but
here's what's possible after you watch this video you could draw write
highlight directly over most desktop applications including the presentation
software and web pages here's how to get the done. Just head on to this website
which is from Microsoft it's sysinternals download section I'll provide
the link to this website in the description below once you are here
click on the download zoomit link which will download a zip file so once the zip
file gets downloaded click on it to open it this only contains the exe file and
this is a portable file as you can see you only have to double-click to operate
it this opens up an options dialog box where we can find lot of options the
first thing that you see here is for the zooming so with this keyboard shortcut
zoom and the control +1 by hitting this we can zoom in on the screen not only in
PowerPoint presentations as I mentioned before but anywhere on your computer
screen so let's try that out right away I'm just going to hit control 1 on my
keyboard and as you can see this zooms in and follows my cursor wherever I go
and to go back to the normal mode I only have to either hit the escape button or
just right-click on the screen and that zooms out from the screen I'm going
to do this and then i'll hit control 1 keyboard shortcut again to zoom out
that's pretty neat the next thing is let me open up the options again so the next
thing is live zoom which is the difference between zoom and live zoom is
that zoom zooms out whenever we right click or
do any other actions on this screen or hit the escape button but "live zoom"
which is activated with ctrl + 4 - lets see now how it performs instead of just me telling it
I'm going to hit control 4 on the screen so this zooms in and I can
also work on the screen but with I'm going to zoom out now but I'm not
I'll hit control 1 again with this I cannot operate or click anywhere on the
screen so that brings up some other option so zoom out again and then
I'm going to hit control 4 and this lets me operate on the screen while zooming
in so I can just type or do any other actions like keyboard selections or show
something so this is a live zoom it lets me operate on the screen while zoomed in
that's the difference between zoom and live zoom now I'm going to open the
options again and go to the 3rd tab which talks about drawing where with
this keyboard shortcut the default one control + 2 let's see what happens I'm
going to hit control 2 on the screen so that brings up the annotation options so
for now I can just do a freehand drawing by clicking on my left mouse
button when I right click this goes away so hit again control 2 - I can draw and
while hitting the tab key when I draw I get an ellipse oval shape or circle that
I can draw to highlight any section of the page and with the shift key I get a
straight line with Shift + ctrl + 2 together I get an arrow a pointer and
with just the control alone I can get a square or a rectangle one thing to
mention here is that with this annotation option activated from zoom it
if you are connected to another monitor like a dual or three monitors at a time
then you may not be able to switch to other screens for example now
I'm connected to a dual monitor but if you see on the right side here I am NOT
able to move beyond my primary screen so that's one demerit with this annotation
option but as long as you are on presentation mode for just one screen
then this shouldn't be a problem because it makes sense that you're on one screen
and you only want to annotate on that particular screen so moving on I'm going
to show now the other options which is so we saw the drawing option and next is
the typing so let's see how to type in the same keyboard shortcut suits here
works here which is ctrl + 2 and once we are on ctrl+2 - I just have to
hit on the keyboard key T so by hitting T I can just type something here on the
screen wherever we want and by clicking the control and then scrolling up and
down we can increase the font size like this and it escaped again
so this goes away now there are some options wherein we can change the color
of the annotations so hitting ctrl 2 again brings up this option if you want
to change the color from pink to any other there are six colors available
from the zoom it software here so let's see what are those hitting on our
keyboard shortcut I get the red, then G gives me in green, hitting on B gives us
blue, then Y gives yellow, O for orange and lastly P for pink so these are six
colors that are available from this tool that's pretty much it about this
software and on this last tab we can see that there is a break option which means
that while giving a presentation you could this is the control 3 keyboard
shortcut, so let's demo that right away - so what this does is I'm going
to hit the control 3 which brings up a timer on on the screen live so in case
you are planning to give breaks during your presentations you could
have a timed break and that's all about it hitting the Escape key takes it away
that's all about this ZoomIT so in case you are in teaching profession or in a
training Department from your in your company then this is something a very
useful tool to keep handy thanks for watching I hope you liked this video
