OBS Lua Zoom to Mouse 1.0.1

Go to download
Overview Updates (1) Reviews (14) History Discussion
An OBS lua script to zoom a display-capture source to focus on the mouse when you press the assigned hotkey. You can optionally toggle following your cursor so that it is always in view while zoomed in. Cropping and positioning of the source is also supported.

I made this script for my own use when recording videos. I wanted a way to zoom into my IDE when highlighting certain sections of code. I know there are existing solutions for zooming in OBS but I couldn't get them working the way I wanted with my setup, so I made this.

Maybe it will be useful for someone else too.

Now supports Windows/Mac/Linux

Doesn't work. I load it on OBS 30 running on a fresh install of Ubuntu 24. Seems to load OK, but when I try to select a source in "Zoom Source" there are no sources listed?

Truly awesome! Been waiting for something like this for a while. I would love to be able to set it up for multiple monitors natively. My current work around is to duplicate and rename the script then add it again, and add the same shortcut for both screens in the OBS settings. Thx!

As others mentioned, i had the Python script to mousezoom in mind that to implement i failed and now i wanted to give it a new try.
Big surprise! Foolproof implementation, smooth functioning, very easy to configure! Excellent!

Excellent plugin, I'm using OBS on macOS, the .lua file is easy to install and easy to use.
One thing I would like for the plugin in the future: the ability to center the capture screen in the middle of the screen when my mouse is pointing the corner of my screen.
But that is a very specific demand, the plugin is already great.
