Keep two or more players on screen by zooming out as they separate

In a shared-screen game, one player runs off and the other leaves the picture. A camera that frames everyone needs a centre, a zoom and a limit past which it stops zooming. Here is how to calculate them, make the zoom feel even and tell players when they have reached the limit.

Why this works

A shared screen is a promise that everyone stays visible. Framing the box around all of them and zooming evenly keeps that promise, and a limit tells the group when staying together has become the game's demand.

When not to use it

Wrong when players should be free to split up, as in a large open world or a game where each person has a private task. A shared view that shrinks until everyone is a dot helps nobody. Give each their own window instead.
