Tableau Recordings with Zoom That Follows Your Data

Record dashboard walkthroughs, report explanations, and data exploration sessions in Tableau with automatic zoom that makes charts, filters, and tooltips readable.

No account needed. Free forever with optional paid upgrade.

Why Tableau Dashboards Are Hard to Record

Tableau dashboards combine multiple charts, filters, and parameters on a single page. Recording a dashboard walkthrough means every visualization competes for screen space.

Multi-Chart Dashboards Overwhelm

Tableau dashboards often contain 4-8 charts plus filter controls on one page. In a recording, each chart shrinks to a thumbnail where data labels, axis values, and legends are impossible to read.

Tooltip Data Vanishes Instantly

Hovering over data points reveals tooltips with detailed metrics. These tooltips are small and transient — recordings either miss them entirely or show them too briefly and too small to read.

Filter Controls Are Tiny

Dropdown filters, date sliders, and parameter controls sit in narrow sidebar or top-bar areas. Recording yourself filtering data means viewers can't see which filters you applied.

Crosstab Tables Are Unreadable

Tableau crosstabs display data in grid format with narrow columns and small numbers. Recording a table walkthrough produces footage where the entire dataset is illegible.

How Zumie Makes Tableau Recordings Data-Driven

Zumie auto-zooms to the chart, filter, or table section you're interacting with, magnifying data points, tooltips, and controls at the right moment.

Charts Zoomed on Interaction

Click or hover on a chart and Zumie zooms to show that visualization clearly. Data labels, axis values, and legends become readable at full size.

Tooltips Captured and Magnified

When you hover over data points, Zumie zooms to the tooltip area. Metric values, dimensions, and details are visible in the recording.

Filters Highlighted and Zoomed

Click filter controls and Zumie magnifies the selection area. Viewers see which filters you applied and what values you selected.

Smooth Chart-to-Chart Transitions

As you move between dashboard visualizations, Zumie creates smooth zoom transitions. Viewers follow your data exploration narrative naturally.
