Have your Mac zoom in on what’s around you

You can use your Mac and another connected camera to zoom in on your surroundings, like a whiteboard or a screen. You can also use the built-in camera on your Mac to zoom in on your surroundings or yourself, like when you’re applying makeup or putting on contact lenses. You can customise background colours, layouts and fonts to make your screen easier to see. You can also listen to text in your surroundings spoken out loud.

The Magnifier window is open on the desktop. Text from a screen is displayed in large font on a black background.

Note: Magnifier spoken content isn’t available in all countries or regions.
