Extension summary

This Chrome™ extension improves Google Meet™ adding the capability to listen to the same music in real time with the other call's participants.

You can listen together to music directly from YouTube™, from a link to an mp3 file, or directly uploading from your local disk!

PREMIUM FEATURE You can share the audio stream from any tab or window, even from other applications (Spotify, Discord, etc.)!

Please note that EVERYBODY in the meeting must have the extension installed for it to work!

HOW TO USE After installation, a new button will be added in your Google Meet™️ button bar. Clicking on that, the sidebar will open; in the "shared music" section you'll see an input box, where you can paste a YouTube™️ URL (also the video will be shown as per YouTube™️ policy), or a URL to an mp3 file, or upload the audio file from your PC. The music will be played simultaneously for the other participants, who can also regulate the volume or pause the music. Please check the "status" tab to see who's connected (this should happen automatically), only the connected users will be able to hear the music. If someone's missing from the list (and doesn't hear the music), everybody should refresh, this helps in the majority of cases. Bad connections or slow PCs can heavily affect the performance of the addon.

Extension just mutes and unmutes the user. The sidebar with the url that is supposed to be launched does not come up

Such a good idea. I was looking for exactly this. Help, please. the shared music extension appears above the microphone mute button and clicking shared music just mutes and unmutes the microphone. I can't get the field to add the YouTube link into...

I can't get this to work. I can't ask 30 people to download an extension.
