### Format Your New Topic as Follows:

- **SDK Type:** React Native Video SDK
- **Version:** 1.9.5

**Description**  
I am reporting an issue with the `videoAspect` props in the React Native Video SDK. It appears that the values set for `videoAspect` props in React Native are being overridden within the native code of the SDK, specifically in the `RNZoomView.m` file.

**Error?**  
There is no specific error message. However, the `videoAspect` props do not reflect the values set in React Native, as they are overridden by default values within the native code.

**Troubleshooting Routes**

- Investigated the `RNZoomView.m` source code.
- Identified the sections where `videoAspect` was forcibly set to default values, thus ignoring the props provided from React Native.
- Made local code modifications to comment out these lines, leading to the `videoAspect` props being correctly applied.

**How To Reproduce**

1. Authenticate and initialize the Zoom Video SDK in a React Native application using any standard method.
2. Set the `videoAspect` props in the React Native layer.
3. Notice that the actual `videoAspect` in the native view does not correspond to the props set in React Native, due to being overridden in `RNZoomView.m`.

The specific code changes include:

- In `RNZoomView.m`, the lines that forcibly set the `videoAspect` have been commented out:

```auto
if (sharing) {
    currentCanvas = [user getShareCanvas];
    // videoAspect = ZoomVideoSDKVideoAspect_Original; // Commented out to respect props
    // ...
} else {
    // videoAspect = ZoomVideoSDKVideoAspect_LetterBox; // Commented out to respect props
    // ...
}

```

These modifications ensure that the `videoAspect` props set in React Native are respected and accurately reflected in the native view. This issue could potentially impact other developers using the SDK, and I wanted to bring it to your attention for consideration in future SDK updates.
