Zoom Magnifying Styles

Today, let's explore how to set up Zoom, our Mac screen magnifier, and how to choose the Zoom style and options we want. In another workshop in this series, we look at how to turn on Zoom and some of the cool features. We also take a quick look at Zoom styles. In this workshop, let's spend a little more time exploring how to set up the three different Zoom styles and how to make them work just right for us.

We'll begin by going to the accessibility menu. And to get there, we'll start at the Apple menu in the top-left corner of the screen. Let's click on the Apple icon, and when the menu opens, we'll select System Settings. On your Mac, it might say System Preferences.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you, and don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away, at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences, so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge, and last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts like me. Now, where were we?
