Which operating system are you using? (Your profile says Windows 10, but you have posted on the macOS board :? )

If you are using a Mac, Hold down both ⌘ and Ctrl while using the scroll wheel.
(see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/zooming.html#wheel)

No problem. If you use more than one OS, you can leave your profile at whichever you use most frequently, but if you post a question about the other OS, it will save confusion if you mention in the post which machine you are on.
