Focus Google Meet tab #9

Open ddemetri opened 3 years ago

ddemetri commented 3 years ago

As someone who might have a lot of tabs open during a google meet meeting, I'd love to be able to press a button to instantly focus/open the tab that has my meeting on it, so that I don't need to fumble around when someone is trying to show me something.

On a related note, Chrome has a really useful "Create Shortcut" feature where you can create a dedicated window and macOS/Windows dock/taskbar icon for a website, as if it were a real app. I use that for all of my Meet calls to avoid the problem of tab juggling entirely.

If you want to try it out, go to meet.google.com, then open your Chrome Settings (3 dot button) -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut, and check Open As Window. Pin the resulting app to your dock/taskbar, and use that window to start/join meetings.

@ddemetri Just an FYI that since Meet now supports being installed as a PWA (ie a Chrome App), you can us the native "Open" command in stream deck to open/bring meet to the foreground.
