User reviews

Users appreciate this Chrome extension for enhancing Google Meet with breakout room management, praising its helpful features, ease of use, and active developer support. It significantly aids teaching and remote collaboration. However, common issues include limitations managing more than 7 rooms, bugs after Google Meet updates, participant/group size constraints, and audio mixing problems. Despite some instability, many users find it indispensable and recommend it as a free, efficient solution for managing breakout discussions in online classes.

Cons

Bugs and occasional failures to function, especially after Google Meet interface updates, requiring frequent updates from the developer.
Limited group size or participant management issues, such as only placing 4 students per group or failing to read all student data.
Multiple audio streams from different breakout rooms can overlap and cause confusion or audio issues.
Some users experience complete failure to launch or inability to use the extension at times.

Olá pessoal! Essa extensão tem sido muito importante para nós, mas estamos verificando um erro muito grave: ela está suportando administrar apenas 7 salas (abas) abertas. Quando passa da 8ª ela está perdendo o sincronismo e deixa de funcionar totalmente. É muito importante que o desenvolvedor leia esta mensagem, pois essa extensão é primordial no trabalho que realizamos.

A free alternative to use instead of workspace, although it is not perfect it works really well. Tutorial and demo is short and sweet.
