Recently I purchased an Elgato Stream Deck which comes in handy during video calls: toggling the camera and microphone on/off by means of a dedicated button sure is handy.
As Google Meet is web-based, there are no plugins for the Stream Deck app to use. However, thanks to the WebHID API it is possible to have your browser talk directly to a Stream Deck device.
With this knowledge in hand Pete LePage — whom you might know as Developer Advocate for Chrome — created a Chrome plugin for use with Google Meet. Once your Stream Deck is connected you’ll get some handy buttons to use:
💡 Tip: To connect the Stream Deck to Google Meet you must close the native Stream Deck app.
