User reviews

Many users appreciate this simple and effective extension for automatically disabling mic and camera in Google Meet, a feature lacking natively. It helps prevent accidental camera use and runs smoothly for most. However, several users report recent failures, with the mic and camera not being disabled or turning back on automatically. Some also experience inconsistent performance across browsers, and bug fixes can be delayed in reaching all users. The developer's quick response and fixes are noted positively, but overall reliability issues persist.

Simple, lightweight, and effective in disabling mic and camera by default.

Cons

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Google Meet Auto Disable Mic/Cam requires very minimum permissions.
