Google Tone Extension

Google Tone turns on your computer's microphone (while the extension is on) and uses your computer's speakers to exchange URLs with nearby computers connected to the Internet. You can use Google Tone to send the URL for any web page, including news stories, pictures, documents, blog posts, products, YouTube videos, recipes—even search results. Any computer within earshot (including over a phone or Hangout) that also has the Google Tone extension installed and turned ON can receive a Google Tone notification.

You need to be logged into your Google account to use Google Tone, and your Google profile name and picture will be displayed with the URL in a Google Tone notification.

To receive a URL with Google Tone, Chrome needs to keep your microphone on. Google Tone may not work in loud spaces, over a distance, with a poor Internet connection, or on computers without a microphone or with a microphone incapable of detecting sound broadcast by Google Tone.

By installing Google Tone, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/. Google Tone collects anonymous usage data in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.

Faheem Ahmad (ID: 0000000e32d22f1e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/07/2024 Please Update this to support latest chrome and add files sending option and make it work

Ari Kotler (ID: 000000afa2331df0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/26/2023 Almost perfect but receiving and sending activation settings should be seperate.

Zitian Yang (ID: 000000e5052af420) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/20/2023 Whenever I tried to use it on my school chromebook it kept on redirecting to myaccount.google.com. Why?

Mariana Barbosa Pires (ID: 000000a53f4b8357) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/10/2022 Vocês deveriam ser mais criativos na hora de inventar cortina de fumaça pra tortura e perseguição, que é exatamente o que significa essa extensão! Pobres até na criação de armas!

J. Vallon (ID: 0000004d775f21c9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/31/2022 I didn't like it because there is no option to deactivate the constant listening. I am not comfortable with this extension being constantly listening to sounds around me. I would rather activate it manually when someone is braodcasting an url.
