v1.0.0

First release.

A Stream Deck profile that drives ZoomIt,
the Sysinternals screen zoom, annotation and recording tool, so you can stop
memorising two dozen keyboard shortcuts mid-presentation.

Install

  1. Download the file matching your device from the assets below.
  2. Double-click it, or drag it onto the Stream Deck window, to import.
  3. Install ZoomIt if you haven't — free from
    Sysinternals
    or bundled with Microsoft PowerToys.

What's in it

  • Modes — zoom, draw, LiveZoom, LiveDraw and the break timer, each
    self-toggling: press once to enter, again to exit, and the icon flips to an ✕
    so you can see a mode is live.
  • Capture — screen recording, cropped recording, record-window-under-cursor,
    region snips to clipboard or file, OCR text capture, and scrolling panorama
    capture to clipboard or file.
  • Pens — five pens, five highlighters, blur, undo, erase all and pen size.
  • Tools — text entry left and right aligned, cursor centring, clipboard and
    file output, DemoType and DemoMirror.
  • One-press whiteboard — zooms, switches to a black pen and blanks the screen
    to white in a single action, with a second press to exit.

Icons are derived from Fluent UI System Icons
(MIT), recoloured for legibility on black keys, with recording actions in red.

Notes

  • The Mini variant is deliberately minimal — six keys cannot hold 45 shortcuts
    without unusable folder nesting, so it carries four desktop triggers, five pen
    colours and five drawing tools.
  • Mode toggles track their own state, not ZoomIt's. Exiting ZoomIt with the
    physical Esc key desyncs a toggle; press it twice to resync. ZoomIt exposes
    no state to query, so this is not fixable from the Stream Deck side.
  • Whiteboard requires zoom mode, which the key handles for you. While the break
    timer is running, Ctrl+W changes the timer background instead — that is
    ZoomIt's behaviour, not the profile's.
  • If the zoom-to-whiteboard transition feels slow, turn off Animate zoom in
    ZoomIt Options → Zoom.
