Camera Zoom Setting

Control how your webcam behaves during zoom in CANVID. Learn how to keep your camera visible, shrink it, or hide it for cleaner, more professional screen recordings.

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.

Change the Camera Zoom Setting

Go to the editor

Finish a new recording, or open an existing project that includes a camera.

Camera sidebar

Select the Webcam icon in the sidebar to open the Camera Editor.

Scroll down the menu and look for Camera during zoom.

Camera Zoom Options

Choose the option that best fits your video style:

Do nothing

The camera will remain the same size during zoom. Use this option if you want the camera to stay constant and visible at all times.

Reduce Size (Default)

The camera will shrink when you zoom. This helps keep the camera visible without blocking important details on screen.

Hide

The camera will fade out during zoom. This option is ideal when you want viewers to focus entirely on your content without distractions. 

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