How to access accessibility features on Windows and Mac

On Windows , you can find the accessibility features by opening Windows Settings and clicking Ease of Access .
Mac users should open System Preferences and head to Accessibility .
It ' s a good idea to explore — you ' ll find something useful if you just click all of the buttons . But here are a few features I think everyone should enable .

Zoom in on anything , including photos and videos

Your computer can zoom in on any region of the screen , a feature that ' s there to help people with vision problems . But everyone can benefit from this .
Videos are better in full screen , and sometimes you want to see a photo in more detail . Not every website lets you do that , however , which is why the magnifier feature on your computer is so useful . This allows you to quickly zoom in on anything that shows up on your screen , whether the app or website you ' re looking at allows for a fullscreen mode or not .
