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

YT Zoom is not working for me. Extension active but there's no magnifier button at YouTube while playing a video (clicking the extension button does not activate it either). Keyboard controls do nothing too. Doesn't work in Chrome, Brave or Opera. Are the controls different on Mac? Sus. Currently rated 3.7 w/10 ratings.
