Zoom Video

Zoom Video gives you direct control over the active video on a page, so widescreen and ultrawide monitors can use more of the screen instead of leaving thick black bars around the picture.

Designed to work with video players on popular platforms – YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO.

Use zoom video controls when a movie, stream, lecture, or embedded player needs a quick resize. Open the popup to see whether a usable video was detected, check the selected source resolution, and apply a preset or manual zoom without changing the page layout.

Try zoom to fill your screen space for letterboxed content, older 4:3 videos, and videos that were mastered for a different display shape. Zoom Video scales the selected video, keeping the player controls and page structure intact wherever the site allows it.

Choose ultrawide video presets for common screen shapes:

- 16:9
- 18:9
- 21:9
- 32:9

Extension is handy for streams that are boxed inside the player. Reach for ultrawide video presets when 21:9 or 32:9 content should zoom to fill more of your monitor.

You can also fine-tune the scale with plus and minus controls, reset back to the original view, or cycle presets from the keyboard. Default shortcuts are available for zoom in, zoom out, reset, and preset cycling.

Built for everyday streaming and web video:

- Finds visible video on the current tab
- Chooses the most relevant active video using size, visibility, playback state, and fullscreen signals
- Works across many video sites, including common streaming services and embedded web players
- Uses per-tab state so popup controls and shortcuts stay in sync
- Re-checks dynamic pages when the DOM, video metadata, fullscreen state, or viewport changes
- Restores the video style on reset

Site support depends on the platform exposing a compatible HTML5 video element. Some services may change their player implementation over time, but Zoom Video is built around a universal video-detection engine rather than a single-site integration.

Zoom Video is especially useful for ultrawide displays, but it also helps on regular monitors when a video does not match your screen. It is a focused tool for video zoom, aspect ratio presets, and manual resizing in Chrome.
