# Enable Pinch to Zoom in Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu Linux

**[No Dogma Blog \(Bryan Hogan\)](https://daily.dev/sources/bryanhogan)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Pinch-to-zoom via touchpad or touchscreen is disabled by default in Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu Linux. The fix requires launching Edge with two flags: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform and --ozone-platform=wayland. To avoid running Edge from the command line each time, you can edit the launch script at /opt/microsoft/msedge/microsoft-edge (requires root) to append these arguments. Be aware that Edge updates will overwrite this change, requiring you to reapply it.
