When you are watching a video that you have either loaded on to your device or streamed from the web (as opposed to a video taken with the camcorder), have you ever noticed that your video may be zoomed in so part of the top or sides get chopped off? Or maybe you are watching a video and you see black bars on the top or sides of the video? You can actually swap between these zoomed in and out modes in your video by first tapping on the screen to bring up the video controls (if not already shown), and then tapping the
icon to zoom in (to get rid of the black bars on around the video) or the
icon to zoom out (to see the full video).

Pinch-to-zoom is a good way to zoom in and out throughout webOS, but you can also perform a double-tap to quickly zoom in on large blocks of text within an email, website or document. Simply double-tap on the text you want to read and you will find that the device automatically zooms in so that text fits the screen width. If you want to quickly zoom out, just double-tap again. You can also double-tap on a Photo to zoom in to a specific spot.

- Note that you should wait for the email, website or photo to completely load, or else the zoom level may reset once it finishes loading.
- Unlike Android, webOS doesn’t ‘reflow” the text to fit the screen width (which we prefer anyway). If text is still too small when you zoom in, try turning your phone sideways for landscape mode.
