Jason Bechervaise (ID: 00000055da93f178) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/26/2022 Very helpful extension to hide visually distracting attendees from view. This is a must have for those with visual-sensory sensitivities, especially when another attendee has constant distracting movement, such as a treadmill desk, an exercise ball chair, or eating meals on camera.

Igor Savchuk (ID: 000000954d20aca1) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/19/2022 It does not save traffic and does not save cpu, all it does is to add display: none to video element Unfortunately useless
