Try to enforce HD (16:9) camera aspect ratio for web-video calls

Description from store
This browser extension attempts to fix a problem I've experienced on some video-calling sites (specifically, Zoom/WhereBy/Google-Meet), where their web clients don't properly ask for HD (1280x720 or 1920x1080) resolution from your camera, and in some cases (like mine) it results in squished/distorted video instead of just nice cropping as would be expected.
This extension patches the built-in "getUserMedia(..)" API to intercept these kinds of calls and to force a request for 1280x720. Thus, if your camera supports that 16:9 HD aspect ratio, a proper non-squished feed will be returned to the web client. If your camera only supports 4:3 aspect ratio, such as 1024x768 or 640x480, then the request should nicely downgrade for your camera and still provide non-squished (albeit not-HD aspect ratio) video for your calls.
By default, the settings for this extension only apply the patch to Zoom/WhereBy/Google-Meet sites. You can change the settings to apply to different sites. There's also a handy enable/disable toggle switch if you want to quickly turn off the extension temporarily without actually uninstalling it.

- (2022-01-21) Kenneth Bailey Sr.: Great extension. My camera is a lumix gx85. It was causing my video calls to be squished. Once I ran this extension, every site is working. I use webex for medical, google meet for personal, and sometimes zoom for business. All three are now working fine.
- (2021-09-17) Ivan Del Duca: It's great and works perfectly for me! I'm using a Sony mirrorless camera as a webcam, attached to the PC with an HD video capture card. I've tried everything butt Google Meet always stretched my video and my business calls where a bit awkward (I usually use Zoom that doesn't have this problem, but sometimes I have to use other software). This extensions solved my problem. Thank you, Kyle!
