  <title>Magnify a screen area</title>

  
Magnifying the screen is different than just enlarging the

  <link xref="a11y-font-size">text size</link>. This feature is like having a

  magnifying glass, allowing you to move around by zooming in on parts of the

  screen.

  <steps>

    <item>

      
Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and

      start typing <gui>Universal Access</gui>.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Click on <gui>Universal Access</gui> to open the panel.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Press on <gui>Zoom</gui> in the <gui>Seeing</gui> section.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Switch <gui>Zoom</gui> to <gui>ON</gui> in the top-right corner of the

      <gui>Zoom Options</gui> window.

        
The <gui>Zoom</gui> section lists the current settings for the

        shortcut keys, which can be set in the <gui>Universal Access</gui>

        section of the <link xref="keyboard-shortcuts-set">Shortcuts</link> tab

        on the <gui>Keyboard</gui> panel.

      </note>-->

    </item>

  </steps>

  
You can now move around the screen area. By moving your mouse to the edges

  of the screen, you will move the magnified area in different directions,

  allowing you to view your area of choice.

  <note style = "tip">

    
You can quickly turn zoom on and off by clicking the

    <link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility icon</link> on the top bar and

    selecting <gui>Zoom</gui>.

  </note>

  
You can change the magnification factor, the mouse tracking, and the

  position of the magnified view on the screen. Adjust these in the

  <gui>Magnifier</gui> tab of the <gui>Zoom Options</gui> window.

  
You can activate crosshairs to help you find the mouse or touchpad

  pointer. Switch them on and adjust their length, color, and thickness in the

  <gui>Crosshairs</gui> tab of the <gui>Zoom</gui> settings window.

  
You can switch to inverse video or <gui>White on black</gui>, and adjust

  brightness, contrast and greyscale options for the magnifier. The combination

  of these options is useful for people with low-vision, any degree of

  photophobia, or just for using the computer under adverse lighting

  conditions. Select the <gui>Color Effects</gui> tab in the <gui>Zoom</gui>

  settings window to enable and change these options.
