Not working #344

The extension stopped working. It no longer puts people in ABC order and when using it puts everyone in 1 long vertical line and not in a grid view.

Yes, it seems that google stopped it by updating itself..we should ask google to enable it back.. Please let us all complain.

From the Grid View (Fix) GitHub page:

UPDATE 02/11/2021: It turns out that Google is testing an update of Meet that disables the Grid View extension. This is why sometimes it works and sometimes not (you see the boxes in a vertical bar). If you seriously need Grid View right now, you might consider refreshing a few times the browser tab (you should end up loading the old compatible version at a certain point). I am really sorry but I have to temporarily remove the extension from Chrome Web Store. In fact, updating Grid View would require a huge amount of work or may not be feasible at all. Please, remember that Google Meet introduced native grid view (up to 49 tiles).

@Jkarhani The solution is NOT to ask Google to "put it back." There's no way they're going to customize their code for one third-party extension. The real solution is to tell Google what would make Meet better for you; what features you want to see in Meet. And if enough people do this, maybe we'll see some of them native to Meet where they can't be broken again.

@Eagle-Man thank you, yes I do realize this. Yes , we sent a report to MR Google & telling all the teachers to do so.
