Summary

This extension is targeted towards schools.

Some students like to hold the spacebar key on the "Raise Hand" or "Mute Mic" buttons to toggle rapidly causing a distracting sound on the host's device and a distracting flashing muted icon in the participants view.

This extension will block holding the spacebar on the Raise/Lower Hand and Mute/UnMute Mic buttons to prevent this nuisance. In addition, should the user have the patience to sit there clicking the mouse button all day, clicking will be blocked page-wide for a few seconds after spamming either of the aforementioned buttons. A notice is displayed while clicking is disabled.
