Desktop Zoom

Watching youtube or tv shows online, you have to look at a small video or there are distractions like ads.
Ubuntu has an accessibility feature called Enhanced Zoom Desktop. It was designed for visually impaired users but like closed captioning, it’s useful to anyone.
First, make sure it is enabled by going to System> Preferences> Appearance> Visual Effects. Select Preferences and then enable Enhanced Zoom Desktop under the Accessibility category.
To use Ubuntu’s zoom, press and hold the windows start button (between ctrl and alt) and move your mouse’s scroll wheel up to zoom in and down to zoom out. You can move the zoomed in area with your mouse.
