Hangremote: Remote Control for Google Hangouts and Google Meet
Hangremote is a free Chrome extension developed by Marcelo Rossi. This extension provides remote control for both Google Hangouts and Google Meet. With Hangremote, users can easily control their microphone and camera settings, as well as leave the hangouts call directly from the extension icon, without having to find the tab.
One of the standout features of Hangremote is the ability to avoid mic/cam being on by default when starting a video call. This can be particularly useful for those who prefer to manually control their microphone and camera settings. Additionally, Hangremote offers keyboard shortcuts that can be customized, allowing users to quickly toggle their webcam and microphone on and off.
It's worth noting that Hangremote does not support multiple tabs or sessions of hangouts or hangouts meet open at the same time. However, the extension is regularly updated and now supports Google Meet, along with multilingual support.
For those who are interested, the source code for Hangremote can be found on GitHub. Overall, Hangremote is a handy Chrome extension for anyone looking to have more control over their Google Hangouts and Google Meet experience.
