User reviews
Admittedly, the creator of this extension does have good intentions. However, this extension is a bad solution to the problem it is trying to solve. The creator intends this to be used on managed school devices. This takes away students' freedom to create their own Google Meets, and connect with their friends or family. I think a much better solution would be for the teachers to just create a new Google Meet for class, and share that link with their students. This is an extension which really only serves to inhibit students' freedom. If anyone reading this is interested in a quick and easy enhancement suite for Google Meet, check out my extension, Google Meet Meat -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-meet-meat/bgdcnhpilfaooloolmedfjbndcmobged
