How to use Touch Bar Zoom on MacBook
After turning on the Touch Bar Zoom feature using the above steps, here’s what all you can do:
Enable virtual Touch Bar
Keep and hold your finger on the physical Touch Bar to view its zoomed virtual version on your Mac’s screen.
The direct-touch mode
This allows you to use a control directly. Keep your finger still on one control and wait for the circle’s color to change. Now slide your finger to access it. It can be of great use to increase/decrease brightness and volume.
To select/activate an item
Slide your finger on the Touch Bar and stop once the circle reaches the control you want to access. Hold your finger until the circle changes its color. Once changed, lift your finger to activate it. Alternatively, you can also split-tap an item to activate it. Long-press the item with one finger, and tap anywhere on the Touch Bar with another finger. That’s it! You don’t need to wait for the circle’s color to change.
