I've always used the handy Control-scroll zoom feature to zoom in on videos or Flash animations that are embeded in web pages. I think I solved my last complaint about this process, the lingering cursor, today. This is how I view videos full screen on the web:
- Set up zoom preferences in the Universal Access System Preferences pane. Under Options, I prefer "only when the pointer reaches an edge," but it's worth trying out all the options.
- Load up a video on a web page and hit play.
- Click in the Search Box field or the Address Field or your chosen browser (you'll see...)
- Zoom in via Control-zoom and center. Now it's looking good, except for that pesky mouse cursor!
- Type a key on your keyboard; I like the up arrow. This hides the cursor.
One other option to hide the cursor is to use Tab to get to an obscured text field then type something. Enjoy!
