Users can zoom in and out on any video feed using a digital zoom. This zooming is only viewable to the user performing the zoom. This means that it will not impact a recording and will not affect other users live observing the feed.

A digital zoom will only take the existing pixels and make them larger. This means there is no increase in image quality.
