Meet Mute Toggle Extension

Toggle mute on or off in a Google Meet from anywhere!
Open source: https://github.com/robcortez/meetmutetoggle

No more hunting for the meeting tab.

- Monitor mute status with an easy to identify green or red icon
- Toggle mute status by clicking the icon, no matter what tab you are on
- Global hotkey support allows you to toggle mute even if your browser is not in focus (default: CMD+Shift+0 on MacOS and CTRL+Shift+0 on Windows and Linux)

**UPDATED: Now supports new Meet UI and URL scheme**

You're in a Google Meet. Maybe you're passively paying attention while getting some work done or catching up on the news. Suddenly, you hear your name and a question directed at you. The meeting grinds to a halt while you struggle to find the tab in the sea of 50 you have open. Finally, you find it only to start with, \"sorry I was muted.\"

Yea. We know.

Save your colleagues from 10 seconds of uncomfortable silence.
