# Add zooms

> Add automatic or manual zoom ranges to a recording.

Zoom ranges enlarge important parts of the screen during playback.

## Add zooms from recorded clicks

**1. Open Cursor**

Select the **Cursor** tab.

**2. Turn on zooms**

Turn on **Zoom Animation**.

**3. Detect click moments**

Click **Detect from clicks** or **Auto-zoom**.

**4. Approve replacement**

If Tellclip finds existing ranges, approve the replacement prompt.

## Add a manual range

**1. Add the range**

Double-click the zoom track, or place the playhead and click **Add zoom**.

Drag the range to move it. Drag a range edge to change its duration.

Double-click the range to change the **Zoom level**. Choose **Follow cursor** or **Fixed point**.

If you choose **Fixed point**, drag the pin on the preview.

The zoom track shows each range. During that range, the preview follows the cursor or the fixed point.

## Common errors

### No automatic zooms appear

The recording contains no usable click events. Add a range on the zoom track.

### The zoom track says Zooms are disabled

Turn on **Zoom Animation** in the **Cursor** tab.

### Sharing an Instant recording takes longer

Instant recordings omit automatic zooms during capture. Added zooms require more processing before sharing.
