Is there any screen recorder with zoom functionality?

Question

I have Kazam as screen recorder, but it does not have real-time zoom functionality. On youtube, I saw some videos recorded under ubuntu and they are zooming in-out while recording. Do you have any suggestions?

On KDE, you can use the Meta (Windows) key and "+/-" to zoom in and out to the desktop. As long as you have a screen recorder such as recordmydesktop or SimpleScreenRecorder, you should be able to capture it just fine.

I'm not aware yet of a screen recorder that zooms with its own software, but with SimpleScreenRecorder you have a lot of options such as a rectangle, window or screen to record and 'follow the cursor'.

That's a wonderful info. I will check it and let you know. – wakeup Nov 05 '20 at 15:37
Update: Unfortunately Meta and +/- does not seem to work anymore. I think they disabled this feature. – wakeup Mar 26 '21 at 13:46
@wakeup Perhaps the hotkeys got deleted? If you look under System Settings -> Desktop Effects -> Zoom options, are the hotkeys set to "Meta+-" and "Meta+="? – NuclearPeon Mar 27 '21 at 19:34
thanks! Yes that is exactly what I needed. – wakeup Apr 20 '21 at 13:24
