You could just rotate your monitor 90 degrees and change the orientation from landscape to portrait in the desktop.
Somewhat hard to do with a laptop
It's a laptop.
Except this still isn’t great with a 16:9 aspect ratio…well I guess 9:16 now…display.
It’s still too damn narrow. Yeah, I get plenty of vertical space, but then the Figma chrome gets jammed into teeny little strips along the sidebar.
This solution does better in Adobe applications, where you can break panels out of the parent window…but still, just, no, 16:9, too skinny, too gawky, give me closer to the Golden Ratio.
It is really nice to have video span, if not the entire viewport, most of it, with the timeline down below. 16:10 gives you a nice bit of control area.
But 3:2 is even better. Hell, give me a 5:4 screen—I live and die in Figma all day, working on mobile app mockups. Which are very tall, obviously, and get awfully small on these HDTV-ish aspect ratios.
