FocusView – Zoom, Rotate & Mirror for YouTube

About

FocusView adds focused video transform controls to YouTube, directly inside the player.

Use it when you want to inspect details, reframe a video, rotate sideways footage, mirror a scene, or move around a zoomed video without changing the rest of the YouTube page.

Core features:

- Zoom YouTube videos from 100% to 500%
- Pan around zoomed video content with the mouse
- Use the mouse wheel to zoom while Pan mode is active
- Rotate videos by 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees
- Mirror videos horizontally
- See a compact Source Map that shows the visible area while panning
- Reset transforms when needed
- Automatically reset when switching to another YouTube video

FocusView is designed to feel native to YouTube. The zoom control sits in the YouTube player toolbar, the settings menu uses a compact YouTube-style layout, and the extension avoids interfering with normal play, pause, fullscreen, and keyboard behavior.

Privacy and permissions:

FocusView does not collect data, does not track users, and does not send anything to external servers. All transforms happen locally in your browser.

The extension does not request extra extension permissions. It only runs on YouTube pages through its content script.
