Grid View for Google Meet™

Adds a button to use a grid layout in Google Meet™.

Grid View for Google Meet™ is a Chrome extension that adds a convenient button enabling a grid layout view during Google Meet sessions. This feature ensures every participant has an equal-sized video window, making it ideal for silent meetings, online classes, and collaborative team discussions without a primary speaker.

The extension also introduces helpful features such as "Push to Talk," which requires pressing the space bar to unmute, reducing accidental microphone blunders. Additional customization options include highlighting active speakers, showing or hiding your own video, and filtering out participants without video. Note that enabling grid view loads all participants' videos simultaneously, which might impact performance in very large meetings.

Perfect for educators, remote workers, and anyone seeking a more organized video conferencing experience, Grid View for Google Meet™ enhances visibility and interaction in virtual meetings. Installation is straightforward, and usage begins once activated within a Google Meet call. While independent of Google, this extension complements the Google Meet platform without official endorsement.
