Stretch or fit the camera picture
Choose if camera pictures fill their boxes or keep their true shape, now or every time you sign in.
By the end you will choose how camera pictures fit their boxes. You will set it for right now, or save it so it stays every time you sign in.

To keep a choice every time you sign in, click Profile in the top bar. Then click Preferences.

Fit or stretch?
Aspect ratio is the shape of the picture, like wide or square.
- Stretch fills the whole box. The picture may look a bit squashed or pulled.
- Fit keeps the camera's true shape. You may see black bars on the sides, or on the top and bottom.
Good to know
- Your preferences follow you to any computer you sign in on.
- These settings only change what you see. Other users keep their own settings.
