User reviews
please add custom zoom amounts instead of fixed zoom amounts, makes no sense the way it is now, if we want to fit the video to the screen without cutting anything off, we may not be able to (I can't on the one video I tried, it's either no zoom at all or the first zoom setting being too big and cutting the sides off) will easily rate 5 stars once a slider+decimal or some other linear control has been added to allow any zoom amount

I have magnifier button and it works
by Aliaksandr Straltsou, 2024-10-18

ctrl + up arrow is zooming in ctrl + down arrow is zooming out please set them to move viewpoint up and down for better usage the above was resolved ! thanks ctrl + left/right arrow moves the vewpoint but it also takes me to the previous/next section of the video. Seems like youtube already binded that shortcut for that functionality. Plus it would be nice to have a shortcut to zoom in and out. A nice feature could be to create a menu for the users to set the shortcuts they find better, "video speed controller" extension has that menu its really good
