Is it possible to Zoom in / out with continuity camera on Mac?

I'm experimenting with Continuity Camera on Zoom / FaceTime. There doesn't appear to be a way to zoom in / out.


Has anyone found a way to do this?

Found the answer at Use Reactions, Presenter Overlay, and other effects when videoconferencing on Mac - Apple Support


Scroll to Manual framing adjustments and you'll see the below (copied for your convenience)


Requires macOS Sonoma or later on a Mac using an Apple Studio Display, or macOS Sonoma or later on a Mac using Continuity Camera with iPhone XR or later

  1. From the Video menu
  2. in the menu bar, make sure that Center Stage is turned off (dimmed).
  3. Center Stage automatically makes framing adjustments, so it must be
  4. turned off to enable manual adjustments.
  5. Move your pointer over the video preview in the Video menu, then make these adjustments:
  • Zoom:
  • The zoom control is a series of tick marks showing the zoom level, from
  • 3x zoomed in to 0.5x zoomed out. Drag the control left or right to
    • adjust zoom.
    • Pan: Drag your image within the preview window to pan and adjust the frame.
  • Recenter:
  • Click the Recenter button to position your face in the center of the
  • frame. (To remain centered as you change position, use Center Stage
    • instead.)
