hi <@U0635DL3XA5>,
there are a couple of options to remove the black borders.
1. use CSS and `object-fit` 
2. add a `onResize` handler to the `VideoTrack` element and inspect `videoHeight, videoWidth` properties


we’re also looking at how to make this easier from within the SDK, but there’s currently now easier solution to get the track dimensions than 2.

&gt; 1. use CSS and `object-fit`
It does not work because black lines seem part of the video.

&gt; element and inspect `videoHeight, videoWidth` properties


I don't see this property in the event.
What is the full address?

<@U0635DL3XA5> I’ve never personally had to do this yet, but it seems the underlying `&lt;video&gt;` element encapsulated by a `VideoTrack` should have these properties.

you get it from the event with `event.currentTarget.videoWidth` .

 Generally if you publish from our client react SDKs there shouldn’t be any black lines in the video stream itself. That sounds rather unexpected.

<@U02EU2ZPTQU>, It turns out that the video size passed with currentTarget.videoWidth includes dark lines too, so the most straightforward solution now is to pass the size using messages

thank you!
