Jonah Spear (ID: 00000026d8a645a2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/11/2023 I love this extension, there's just one issue which is a major pain for me. Whenever I'm editing an invite and the description field gets too long, the meeting title and "save" button get hidden and I can't create a meeting. I would love to give 5 if this gets fixed

Garage Door Service (ID: 00000083611412b1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/15/2022 Can you add a setting to toggle what gets hidden? I love hiding the left toolbar, but I always use the search bar and would like it to remain visible.
