Adds a toggle to use a grid layout in Google Meets
What is Google Meet Grid View?
'Google Meet Grid View' is a powerful Edge add-on designed to transform your Google Meets experience. With this, you can toggle a grid layout where every participant’s video size is equal. This is especially useful for meetings with no primary speaker or silent work-from-home meetings. There's a variety of options for a tailored experience, including self view, speaker highlighting, and the ability to hide participants without video. Please note, this add-on forcibly loads all participants' videos when grid view is enabled and might affect performance in large meetings. Rest assured, this extension respects privacy and does not track any user data.
