Confused about Zoom regions Apr 04, 2019 By Jeni Johnson After reading about zoom regions I have some questions that weren't answered in the tutorial. 1. Is there a way to make a zoom region a circle instead of a square? 3. How can I make it so the region is zoomed when a user clicks on it? I only found directions for timing a zoom by using the timeline.

Phil Mayor Hero 5 years ago04/04/19 at 4:35 pm (UTC) You could, I would do it on separate slides and add your regions which jump to a duplicate slide where there is a zoom region on and it pauses when the user clicks again it unpauses and then jumps back to the slide they were on. This was one of the first things I built in storyline https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrykvrzfci0snw3/Coffee.story?dl=0 It sort of does what I describe but does not pause and unzoom (it is very basic)
