MicrosoftPlease note that (unluckily) following statement from ZoomIt v9.0 page is wrong and should be corrected ASAP.
"ZoomIt works on all versions of Windows and you can use touch and pen input for ZoomIt drawing on tablets."
It still didn't work on my Windows 7 SP1 x64 (Ultimate) so once again I still had to revert to older v7.10.
So basically a much more close to reality version of above statement would just be (but it's my .002 cent proposal 😇):
"ZoomIt works on all modern versions of Windows and you can use touch and pen input for ZoomIt drawing on tablets."
JFYI I did my tests on Mon 5 (last week) and it always loaded properly inside notification area but as soon as I right clicked on its icon to try to use it, it hanged and stopped working immediately (so basically I couldn't see its menu because it closed immediately). At the end I made 3 attempts then just reloaded older v7.10 (that inside app shows itself as v7.1).
P.S. I'm already planning to also report this via GitHub with some more details (mainly I'll add related errors from Application Log contents) anyway ITMT I can confirm you all that same day WER has already sent full details of all 3 occurred errors directly to Microsoft. 😁😇
The expression "all versions of Windows," particularly when uttered by Microsoft, should be assumed to mean "all supported versions of Windows." Win7 has been out of support for years, as has Windows 95 and Windows 3.1.
Ok, I agree with you, using supported would be even better and also avoid even other minds (few I guess) to go even earlier than Win7 just like for the others examples you made. Then why not just make it explicit ? 😊
In the past Microsoft was indeed much clearer about confirming the same to ensure avoiding any confusion, and I know it always worked well. 😇
So, Recording it's suboptimal because we have to dismiss a file-save dialog every time exits recording mode.
We need this fixed.
Zoomit’s primary purpose is as a presentation aid. File-save dialogs are inappropriate there. Recording is an extra feature that REQUIRES saving to a file. You don’t dismiss it if you want to save the recording.
Just press Ctrl+S if you want to save an annotated screen.
It's the same for Recording.
Recording has a dialog to save the file.
Why drawing mode should not have?
It does. Just press Ctrl+S.
It would be suboptimal to have to dismiss a file-save dialog every time one exits drawing mode.
Many thanks Alex_Mihaiuc
Of course, I installed v9.0 straight away. 😀
I have noticed that the zoom function is recorded when I make a screen recording. At least this is how it works in the Snipping Tool. It does not work in Microsoft Stream and Microsoft Clipchamp.
The zoom actions of the Microsoft screen magnifier are generally not recorded.
However, I have to admit that these irritations may also be due to my infrastructure. This is because the infrastructure is severely overloaded with video and corresponding editing.

Hello,
Please fix this in ZoomIt.
If you start drawing mode and draw something, after you press Esc, the drawing mode is closing with no prompt and you lose what you draw.
Please add a dialog to save the drawing when exiting draw mode by Esc.
Thank you
Please no, that would totally defeat the whole purpose of ZoomIt being snappy and responsive without any popups or dialogs. If you want to draw, there's always MS Paint... If you read the instructions, you can press CTRL+S or CTRL+C to save your drawings rather than wiping them with Esc.
