Miro product team, please optimize your zooming feature, so that you can zoom into a selected object without having to then search the canvas, with pan/hand tool, to find the selected object. Doing so would allow a more intuitive, and efficient user experience, because, the selected object would become a centering anchor to screen zooms, magnifications, etc—make sense?. This is a common feature that you’d find in a Adobe products like InDesign, Illustrator, etc. Hopefully not too hard to implement this change. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is frustrated with this.

would be great
You can do it by selecting object and by clicking on “%” within the Map area ..
Sorry, I don't get it.
If I understand the Samagran post right Miro already has the functionality to zoom to selected object. Unfortunately many users are not aware of that. I'm sharing that with my own community of designers. How can you do it now? → Select the object and then click on “%” within the Map area ..
It would be better if the whole of the selected object fitted into the screen. It does work, but it takes the screen to 100% and you have to zoom out again.
It works to an extent, but it could be better.
Esy and efective option.
.- Select any ammount of objects.
.- Fit Screen only “selected objects” ( button or key )
Thx
Can we have a zoom to selected object. When zoom to object the object will fit to screen @ 100%. This feature is available on Figma. (Shift 2)
I had trouble finding this as well (because I expected it to be a CMD key, but it looks like this functionality already exists. Try ALT+2 (Windows) and OPTION+2 (Mac).

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and share feedback about this feature. Our team is reviewing this idea and will follow up if there are any updates we can share. Thank you for your patience and commitment to making Miro better!

I know the ALT+2 function, but how can I zoom in on selected objects if I only have a presenter smartboard (no keyboard). As mentioned, clicking the % area on the screen takes me to 100% instead of zooming to fit the selected objects like ALT+2.
I would like this zoom feature as well. I just ran into this problem because I now use a large touch screen to teach class. Previously I would project to the whiteboard from a desktop computer. I would select the object and pres ALT+2. Now I teach directly from the touch screen: no keyboard. When I click on the link arrow for another board element, the linked element fills the screen. Great!
The problem arises when I have changing objects (or content). In the screen shot below this content can change. Maybe I add or subtract similiar images or I change the learning content completely. (I don’t have time to continuoulsy creating new links. That would also reduce Miro´s functionality: spontaneous creation or modification.)
What is the problem? I want to zoom into house #1. When I am at the desk using the computer (and duplicating the large screen to the class), I click on house 1 and press key combo ALT+2 and house 1 fills the screen. I can now talk about this particular house. If I am just using the large touch screen I have to enlarge by "unpinching" (?). This can be hit or miss, sloppy at best.
What I would like is to use the stylus with large touch screen. I would select house #1 with the context toolbar appearing with a Zoom to/In option. (This is preferable to the context menu.)
Clicking on this button would fill the screen with the selected image/object. Of course what would be great is to have same button dynamically change to ZOOM BACK when an object is zoomed in, allowing the use to go back to the previous zoom level and choose another random object.
