Option: Cut video instead of adding blackbars

[TuTAH1]

Now, if the video didn't fit the player size, YouTube adds black bars. I suggest adding an option to cut the video instead of adding blackbars. That would be nice if It can be activated via the YouTube settings button ar with key shortcut. That's can be done easily by changing "video-stream html5-main-video"'s height and width:

.video-stream.html5-main-video {
	height: auto!important;
	width: var(--monitorResolutionWidth)!important;
	left: 0px!important;
}

or maybe there's even a simpler way

Welcome @TuTAH1! "why?" what about fullscreen hotkey instead? cutting in each case? (either vertically or horizontally at need) labling this 'tweak, unless we can add universal specification / common use case to make it a 'feature.

@ImprovedTube there's no cutting when I turn it into fullscreen, I still can see black bars. Maybe I'm missing some option?

thanks again! i'm just not sure if more than a few people would/should use this 🤔 Why wouldnt you mind not seening all of the video?

• Here structure means, what matters most is, how we call it. And that nobody sees it, who does not need to. (maybe a purpose could be specific presentations, where they decide this already knowing every second in the video)

TLTR: Purpose : #presentation only?

I don't clearly understand your question, but this feature is extremely useful in case of double blackbars caused by 21:9 fragment in 16:9 video while watching on 21:9 screen (or something similar. Nearly all videos are combination of different AR (aspect ratios) parsed to one AR by adding black bars. In case if your screen AR is not equal to video's one, you see double black bars (both up-down and left-right — one embedded in video and other is added by YouTube) very often. My suggestion will fix it). Otherwise it's still useful for just hiding single black bars.
