Change How Your Camera Behaves When You Zoom

By default, your camera automatically shrinks when you zoom into your screen recording. CANVID allows you to customize this behavior so your camera appears exactly how you want during zoom moments.

This guide will show you how to change your camera’s behavior during zoom.

How to Change Camera Behavior During Zoom

1. Record a new video with your webcam, or open an existing project that includes a camera recording.
2. In the Editor, open the Camera sidebar menu.
3. Locate the Camera during zoom setting.
4. Select your preferred camera behavior from the available options.

Camera During Zoom Options

Choose the option that best fits your recording style:

Do nothing

• The camera will remain the same size during zoom.
• Best if you want your camera to stay constant and visible at all times.

Reduce Size (Default)

• The camera will shrink when you zoom in.
• Helps keep the camera visible without blocking important screen details.

Hide

• The camera will fade out during zoom.
• Ideal when you want viewers to focus entirely on the zoomed content.

Changing this setting helps you create cleaner, more professional recordings that keep the focus exactly where you want it.
