MeetMute: Mute, Auto-Mute for Google Meet

All-in-one Google Meet controls: mute & camera from any tab, auto-mute on join, push-to-talk, hot-mic alerts & keyboard shortcut.

MeetMute is an all-in-one mic and camera control extension for Google Meet. Mute, unmute, and turn your camera on or off from any browser tab — without switching back to the meeting — and never get caught on a hot mic again. A floating control appears on every tab during an active Google Meet call. Click to mute/unmute or toggle your camera instantly. The Chrome toolbar icon changes color so you always know your mic status: green means live, red means muted, gray means no active call. KEY FEATURES • Floating mute/unmute button — appears on every tab during a Google Meet call • Camera control — turn your camera on/off right from the floating button, too • Auto-mute & auto-camera-off on join — start every meeting muted and/or camera-off, automatically • Hot-mic alert — get a desktop notification and an attention animation when you're left unmuted in a Meet call you've switched away from • Keyboard shortcut — press Ctrl+Space (customizable) to toggle mute from any tab • Push-to-talk mode — hold the floating button to temporarily unmute, release to re-mute • Jump to your Meet tab — one click on the floating button takes you back to the call • Multiple-call warning — get notified when two or more Meet calls are open at once • Toolbar icon status — green (live), red (muted), gray (no call) at a glance • Desktop notifications — get confirmation when you toggle from a non-Meet tab • Multi-tab support — works with multiple Google Meet tabs open simultaneously • Draggable button — drag the floating button to any screen edge, position is remembered • Hide on specific sites — right-click the floating button to hide it on any website • Customizable — animation style, notifications, push-to-talk, alert timing, and more HOW TO USE 1.

After a delay you choose, it fires a desktop notification — with one-tap Mute and Open-tab buttons — and makes the floating button pulse for attention. Peace of mind for back-to-back calls and busy days. AUTO-MUTE & CAMERA OFF ON JOIN Tired of joining loud? Turn on auto-mute and/or auto-camera-off and MeetMute starts every meeting the way you want — muted, camera off, or both — while still respecting any change you make yourself in the green room. PUSH-TO-TALK Enable push-to-talk in settings for walkie-talkie style communication. Hold the floating button or keyboard shortcut to temporarily unmute. Release to automatically mute again.
