Have you ever tried watching a code walkthrough video, wanting to follow along with visual studio but have a hard time because the video players are too small for you to read the code? and when you do full screen, you’ll have to pause and play while you “unfullscreen” to switch to Visual Studio to follow along?
The solution is simple: browser zoom is your friend. Most of the online video players are configured to be scalable so you can actually do the following:
1. Set your browser to full screen (F11 for IE8)
2. Set the zoom level to a comfortable size.
As you can see in the screen shot above, I’m able to watch the video on my extended monitor, at a size where i can read the code comfortably, while still being to work on my primary screen. 🙂
