Can a presenter zoom in on a specific area of a shared screen or document to highlight a item? I have a PowerPoint with a jpeg of a screen shot and there is a lot going on. Instead of breaking it up in 10 different slides, can I zoom in and out? That flexibility would help go anyone on the screen shots and I wouldn't have to anticipate every possible question.

    That functionality is not part of screen sharing in Adobe Connect. But you can hold Ctrl and then use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom in or out on a slide, or the Zoom function in the View tab of PPT.

    In addition to Zooming in and out, if you want to, you can use the in-meeting cursor to draw the attention of attendees to exactly what is being talked about, from all the myriad content displayed on the screen.

    See if the documentation at Share content in a Connect session‌, helps you.

    Has this feature request been addressed in the latest connect 12 version of adobe?  This is one of our agencies, most utilized briefing tools with basic PowerPoint, and the only one lacking while using Adobe. I know the feature is available when using PDFs however, it's difficult to track where you are in the document and not user-friendly.
