## Description

Google Meet Grid View is a handy Chrome extension that introduces a toggle button for enabling a grid layout in Google Meets. This layout ensures all participants have equally sized video tiles, making it perfect for meetings without a primary speaker, such as silent work-from-home sessions.

The extension loads every participant's video when grid view is on, offering options like including your own video, highlighting the active speaker, and hiding participants without video feeds. Please note, activating grid view in extremely large meetings may impact performance.

## Review summary

Users report the add-on sometimes auto-creates a grid view, which is helpful and easy to use, especially on larger calls. However, many reviews indicate it often fails in Firefox, listing participants in a vertical order rather than a grid and not showing everyone. Some users see only themselves or an incomplete list. There are calls for updates and fixes, and a few note the tiles appear vertically or are unstable. Overall, it is seen as useful when it works, but compatibility and reliability issues limit practicality.

### Pros

- Automatically arranges participants into a grid with no configuration required.
- Described as very useful for group meetings.
- Works on calls with multiple participants (e.g., tested on an 8-person call).

### Cons

- Does not render a grid; shows a vertical list and may not display all participants.
- In Firefox, it often does not work while the Chrome version functions correctly.
- Needs updates/fixes; multiple reviews request improvements.
- Some users report only seeing themselves or an incomplete list.
- Tiles appear vertically instead of a proper grid.
