Why use Teams Zoom
Zooming In makes it easier to read and notice details. Find what level is comfortable for your eyes and the type of work you do. It will help you reduce eyestrain and work more effectively. Sometimes, Zooming out also helps to get the overall picture.
I use Teams Zoom for demos
I am conducting lots of sessions for customers almost on a daily basis. Teams is one of the products I cover. When I am showing Teams to audiences who have not seen it before, showing it in Zoom mode is very effective.The audience can appreciate various parts of the user interface and learn how to use it fairly quickly.

Zoom levels
Minimum is 60% and Maximum is 200%. You can cycle through following steps – 60, 70, 85, 100, 120, 145, 170, 200.
What is unique about Teams Zoom
There are two types of Zoom. Screen Zoom and Document Zoom. All Office tools (and many other apps) support document zoom.
Zooming makes the DOCUMENT grow bigger (or smaller). The menus (ribbon / UI) does not increase in size.
Teams is unique in the sense that the entire application behaves like a document. Therefore, when you use Teams Zoom the UI as well as the content becomes bigger.
For all other products, in order to Zoom in to the UI, you have to use Windows + and Windows – (Magnifier).
