Makecode team showed this method on stream  
namespace userconfig {  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_WIDTH = 320  
export const ARCADE\_SCREEN\_HEIGHT = 240  
}  
You just past this code into your JavaScript code and your all set

well you can use [this](https://github.com/kiwiphoenix364/pxt-zoom)  
this extension will multiply the screen width by the input so

```auto
x:screen modifier
{x∈ R|0<x}

```

x can only be bigger then 0

You can revert, it just changes into some grey blocks that you can’t edit in blocks
