Easy muting/unmuting for when you're in a Google Meet.
Meet Mute: The Essential Google Meet Muting/Unmuting Chrome Extension
'Meet Mute' is a Chrome extension designed to provide an efficient way to control your microphone during Google Meet sessions. It provides you the options to set global keyboard shortcuts to mute and unmute effortlessly. The extension's icon changes color (green for unmuted, red for muted) to indicate your mic's current status. You can also control this feature by clicking on the extension's icon. Keyboard shortcuts can be customized through the extension's settings in the Chrome menu.

User reviews
It's a nice extension but it will be removed soon and the original developer no longer maintains it.
So i have upgraded it based on this extension:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mute-tab/djnlklfindboblpikpeaedoamfhgklfd
Not working correctly with Version 121.0.6167.185 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Verified: Site access is "automatically allow access on the following sites: https://meet.google.com/*"
If I mute from inside the meet window, the icon updates to match.
If I click the icon, it changes, but does not mute the meet window. I then cannot reset the top icon without muting and unmuting inside the meet window.
This also causes the global shortcut key to fail.

This is a lifesaver! It's a game changer to be able to mute/unmute yourself from any Chrome tab or window or even application. To set keyboard shortcuts, make sure you read the instructions (right click the icon > manage extensions > click the three lines icon on the top left corner > keyboard shortcuts). Thanks for making this extension!
