Meet Soundboard

Add a soundboard to your Google Meet calls with custom audio clips and sound effects.

Meet Soundboard - Complete Feature Description Meet Soundboard is a powerful Chrome extension that transforms your Google Meet experience by adding a customizable soundboard directly to your browser. Perfect for teachers, presenters, streamers, and anyone who wants to add engaging audio elements to their video calls. 🆕 What's New in 2.0.0 Fixed: switching microphones mid-call no longer mutes you. In previous versions, changing your microphone during a call — or even just opening Meet's audio settings — could leave you silent for the rest of the meeting. This is fixed. Cleaner voice. A limiter on the voice bus removes the subtle digital distortion some users heard on louder passages. Voice effects. Change how you sound in real time from the new Voice tab: Robot, Telephone, Echo or Monster. Off by default. Keyboard shortcuts. Assign a key to any sound and trigger it without opening the popup. New setting: "Hear it too". Choose whether sound effects also play through your own speakers. On by default. Faster popup. The soundboard now appears instantly, with no theme flash in dark mode. Your existing sounds and collections are preserved — nothing to re-import. 🎵 Core Features Advanced Sound Management Upload and manage custom audio files (up to 10 seconds each) Support for up to 16 sounds per collection Individual volume control for each sound Custom emoji assignment for visual organization Drag-and-drop reordering of sounds for quick access Right-click context menus for quick actions (edit, move, delete) Custom confirmation modals for safe deletion Smart Collection System Create multiple sound collections for different purposes (work, fun, presentations, etc.) Right-click context menus on collection tabs (rename, delete) Reorder collections via drag-and-drop Export collections as .msb files for backup and sharing Import collections from .msb files to restore or share setups Intelligent collection management with safety confirmations Keyboard Shortcuts Assign a key to any sound and trigger it without opening the popup Shortcuts work while you're focused on the Meet tab Visual badge on each sound showing its assigned key Voice Effects Change how you sound to others in real time, from the Voice tab Four effects: Robot, Telephone, Echo and Monster Switch between effects live during a call Off by default — your voice is untouched unless you pick an effect Revolutionary Favorites System ⭐ Pin your favorite sounds from any collection for instant access Dedicated "Favorites" tab that's always first Support for up to 20 favorite sounds (more than regular collections) Drag-and-drop reordering of favorites without affecting original collections Smart navigation -

Meet's cloud denoiser can filter out sound effects as background noise. Note that this option only exists on certain Google Workspace editions — if you don't see it, your account isn't being denoised and there's nothing to change Adjust Input Volume: Lower your microphone input if sound effects seem too loud relative to your voice Organization Tips Use the Favorites system to keep your most-used sounds accessible across all collections Right-click on sounds for quick editing and management Use "Go to sound" feature to find where your favorite sounds are originally stored Create themed collections for different use cases Use descriptive names and relevant emojis for easy identification Backup & Sharing Export your collections regularly as backups Note that Favorites are device-specific and don't export (by design for privacy) Share collection .msb files with colleagues for consistent setups Exporting is also how you move your sounds to another computer — they don't sync automatically Performance Keep audio files under 10 seconds for optimal performance Use the dark mode toggle for comfortable extended use Take advantage of drag-and-drop reordering for better workflow 🌟 Key Highlights Favorites System: Revolutionary way to organize your best sounds across all collections Keyboard Shortcuts: Trigger any sound with a single key, without opening the popup Voice Effects: Sound like a robot, a telephone, an echo or a monster, live in the call Enhanced Context Menus: Right-click functionality throughout the interface for quick actions Multilingual Support: Full translation into 6 languages for global accessibility Improved Safety: Custom confirmation dialogs and comprehensive data protection Better Navigation: Smart "Go to sound" feature for easy location finding Visual Enhancements: Dark mode, better feedback, and modern UI improvements Expanded Audio Support: Multiple audio format compatibility for maximum flexibility This extension brings the fun and functionality of a professional soundboard directly to your Google Meet calls, making your virtual interactions more engaging, professional, and entertaining than ever before!
