I built a Google Meet addon to fix Chat

Hacker News

Hey HN, I built GM Pro, a Chrome extension that improves Google Meet’s chat and transcription experience, among other features. Google Meet works well for video calls, but its chat and transcription features have limitations—messages disappear when you reload, transcriptions only show the last few sentences, and there's no way to react or reply properly. GM Pro fixes this. Key Features: Enhanced Chat – Persistent history, message replies, reactions, GIF support. Transcriptions – Scrollback access, 24-hour persistence, and downloadable logs. Auto-Open Chat – No more manually opening the chat every meeting. Dark Mode – Better visibility in low-light settings. Auto Mute & Camera Control – Start meetings with your mic muted or camera off. Lobby Notifier – Get a sound alert when someone joins. Attendee Shuffling – Randomly pick participants for discussions and standups. GM Pro is designed to seamlessly integrate with Google Meet while staying lightweight and easy to use. Try It Out Would love to hear your feedback! You can check it out here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gm-pro/bfmgohplnhbl... All you need to do is install the extension, then open a new Google Meet, and you'll see the new chat UI, and you can toggle the features from the extension menu. What other Google Meet features do you wish existed?
