The screenshots for the code are too small for me to see what is written.

Is there a way to zoom in or for the code to be viewed?

Which screenshots are you referring to? You could try Cmd + "+" on Mac or Ctrl + "+" on PC.

Britain Green but if you do ctrl + "+" the text on the page gets bigger but the video actually gets smaller! The only option is to use full screen mode or see the code in Workspaces like Ted Sumner said.

Jack is right! And it's not helpful if you want to try to write the code yourself while following along with the videos

Ellen Sun just wait until you start the Rails courses. The instructor in some of those courses actually copies and pastes blocks of code and you have to pause the video and spend 20 minutes typing it all out to move forward.

One thing I do sometimes, especially with the Rails courses, is use a program called Replay Media Catcher (although there are many like it) that downloads the videos when you load a page. That allows me to play the local file and go at my own pace and seek at leisure without having to reload the actual video.

you can view the code in Workspaces. But workspaces does not work on iPads, so you might be screwed if you are using that to view the video.
