Windows 10: Help with camera width!

I have a Lenovo ThinkBook with built-in camera using Windows 11. When I do video conferencing, the view is very wide. How do I fix the camera so that the view is not so wide/just me in the center with less background? I followed the self-help guide to fix the camera settings, but when I go to the Camera App the click on the connected camera there is only one - integrated camera, the Camera App screen disappears so I can't go to the settings page! Please help! Thanks.

Hi Kate Lacy,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand your inconvenience. We will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the method provided below and check if it helps.

Method 1: Registry editor.

Disclaimer: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

How to back up and restore the registry in Windows - Microsoft Support

After taking the back from the registry, follow the steps provided below.

Steps:

• Press Windows logo key + R key.
• Type regedit and press Enter.
• If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.
• Now, navigate to the following location in Windows Registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

• In the right side panel of WindowsMetrics, double-click ‘ScrollWidth’
• In the value data field of the window, enter a data value. The default value for scroll width is the -225. Entering 500 will double the width, which should be fine in my opinion. But you can enter any value up to 1500. You could say, enter 1400 to
  make it even bigger. Remember, more or higher the value, the wider is the scrollbar.
• After changing the value, restart the computer and check if it helps.

Hope this information helps. If you have any further queries related to Windows, let us know.
We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Column Width in List View in File Explorer

I went through all of the above steps, but sadly this doesn't work when viewing folders in *list* view. Any idea how to adjust the column widths there?

Up until a couple of months ago the column widths were always simply equal to the longest name in the column or the longest name in the folder. Now there is a couple of extra centimetres in there for no discernible reason.
