Resizing self-video window (Windows OS)

I do a lot of activity classes via zoom where I do need to see myself (via my self video) in order to correct posture or technique. Until now, using the Zoom client on an elderly Windows netbook, I could go full screen for the teacher,, then minimise all the other participants videos, then lastly resize my own camera feed by dragging the dimensions to the required size (the cross-arrow turned into ordinary sizing arrows). This worked just fine.  But I got a new Windows 10S laptop (and the S Mode won't allow me to download any non MS-software) and so I am joining the classes via the Edge browser version of Zoom, rather than by using the full client. I am not paying for the pro version of Zoom, either. Now I find that all I can do is shift my self-view window  around the screen, but the cross-arrows don't change, so no resizing is possible. Is this a shortcoming of only using the browser version (rather than the full client), or am I missing soemthing?  I am loathe to switch out of S Mode in order to download the application, as it's a non-reversible step (thank you, Microsoft}. Anyone able to help? Thanks
