Meta Stories Glasses Hack: Occluding Non-Dominant Eye Improves Video Framing

I love Meta Stories glasses because they let me make videos with both hands free, something that's important to me because I like to demonstrate things.

Since inception I've been annoyed by my inability to properly center my subject: far too often, part of the field is outside the video frame.

I noticed that when I close my right (non-dominant*) eye, what I see with my left eye is much more congruent with the subsequent video (the embedded camera is at the upper outside corner of the right lens).

I taped a small piece of opaque black construction paper atop the right lens so I don't have to think about closing my right eye while I record, and now videos show what I see.
