Version 0.0.15.6

Features
• The headline message on the "Meet" tab shows the version number. Version 0.0.15.6 is the first version to show this, which will help in user support if I know exactly what version you are using. All versions are globally updated but occasionally there is a delay. This headline message will also alert the user that the version has changed.
• New section for Open Rooms for Google Classroom. The process for opening the rooms in standard Google Meet is different than for Google Classroom, so to make this process cleaner and easier for users, a new section Google Classroom is added
• The "Choose Course" section in the Meet tab shows the selected course and number of breakout rooms requested. This allows the user at a glance to see what course they are manaing and the number of breakouts they selected/li>

Known Issues and Workarounds
• For Google Classroom users, please delete the "?authuser=0" suffix of the URL for the GC automatically generated Meet. After you delete the suffix, the URL should be in the format: https://meet.google.com/abc-def-ghi. This is a bug on my side and I will fix it in the next release. I have a matching problem in the "Assign Participants" section if the suffix exist in the GC automatically created Meet URL. This is only a problem for release 0.0.15.6. I will fix it in the next release.
• You will need to select (again) the course name and select (again) the number of breakouts. Even though the name is to the right of the dropdown, please select it again.
• Verion 15.6 deleted the user's extension data. This is an error on my part and should not happen again. For the next several weeks at least, please back up your extension data by going to the "Course" tab and Export your data to your personal computer download folder. If need be, you can Import it back in again. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this caused. This should not happen again, but to be on the safe side please use this backup method.

Version 0.0.15.7

Features
• Fixed the bug for Google Classroom users where they must delete the "?authuser=0" suffix in the GC automatically generated link URL. Now please do not do that anymore. That was just a temporary workaround until this version's fix
• Fixed the bug in the Meet tab where the user needed to re-select the course. Now you don't have to do that. For Course selected, what you see is what you selected, which is how it is supposed to be. However, there still is the lingering problem (fixed in 15.8) where you will need to re-select the number of rooms, please see the Known Issues and Workaround below
• Fixed the intermittent error for the "Choose Course" section label in the "Meet" tab where the section label did not always accurately reflect the Course chosen and the selected number of Breakouts Rooms.
• Added a link to this version release notes web page in the headline message in "Meet" tab where the version is specified. There is a click "here" link which takes the user to this Version Notes page. This is the quickest way to learn about new features in the latest version. Also if a problem occurs, I will post the error and a workaround if possible for that error while I am fixing it or waiting for Google to approve the new release
• Packaged up the Room Participant Controls into its own section in the Meet tab. This simplified the look of the control panel by reducing the number of buttons at the top of the panel. These participant controls still exist and work the same, however, they are in their own section "{Room Name} Room Participant Controls"

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Error: Clicking on the Open Breakout Rooms button in the Meet tab opens all the breakout rooms for a given course. For example, even though the dropdown may select 3 breakout rooms and the total number of breakout rooms is 8, the extension will open all 8.
• Workaround is to re-select the number of breakout rooms. So even though the selected number is 3, please select it again. After re-selecting it, now the Open Breakout Rooms button will only open the requested number which is 3 in the example above. This is an error that I will fix in the next release, however, this workaround will handle this error. Just select again the number of breakout rooms.

Version 0.0.15.8

Features
• Fixed the bug in the Meet tab where the user needed to re-select the number of breakout rooms. Now you do not need to do that.
• Resize button at the top right hand side of the control panel. This minimizes and maximizes the control panel
• Resize button at the top right hand side of the control panel, just to the left of the Resize button. This retiles all of the rooms as if they were created at the same time, sized and spaced appropriately panel

Known Issues and Workarounds
• None to date

Version 0.0.15.9

Features
• Automatic Meet Links!!! Now all the links can be automatically generated. There is no need to go to Google Calendar anymore. Just name your rooms and save, then the links will be automatically created and saved in the extension. This is a HUGE time saver
• If you want to save a particular link, for example the main room, you can save that link and it will not be changed. All you have to do is leave it alone and it will not be overwritten. However, if you want to refresh a new set of links for existing rooms, then blank out the links field and click save. A new set of links will automatically be created and saved.
• Rooms can now be any resource you want, such as a youtube video, jamboard, a math or science web page, or an article on the web you want to discuss. Simply copy that link to the Rooms tab and give the "Room" a name. Make sure that it begins with https:// or http:// in order to be viewed as a valid link. These resources will be tiled and available for retile along with the Google meet rooms on your screen
• Google Classroom users will still need to copy their GC auto generated main page URL to the Rooms tab Main room in order to sync the extension with Google Classroom. However, all of the GC breakout rooms links can be automatically generated. Just leave the Link field blank and the extension will create the link and save it for you in the list.

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Problem with Auto Link Generation: When you receive the update 15.9 you may have to verify your google account. I experienced this problem and received an error message from the extension: Error in automatically creating the link. Please make sure you are logged in to your teaching google account.... No need to panic, please type in the following url: https://meet.google.com/new . Next the system will ask you to verify your account. Once you do that you are all good! This needs to be initialized once by going to this url and following the instructions to confirm your account. After than it should work in the automated mode within the extension.
• Noisy Feedback when Using Broadcast: This can happen when students are in both the breakout rooms and also the main room. I fixed this already in version 16.0 which will be available August 19 (estimated). In the meantime, the workaround is to *** manually *** turn off the speaker button in the main room when broadcasting. I know this breaks the "rule" I gave everyone to please only use the control panel, but this is a temporary workaround until 16.0 When you turn on the Broadcast microphone it will automatically turn on the microphone everywhere so before you speak please turn off the mic in the main rooom (directly in its window). This is a temporary workaround and in 16.0 the broadcast will only affect the breakout rooms
• Sync Google Classroom Main room with the extension is inconvenient: This will be more automated by only having to click on a button to sync up the room, and it is laid out as step 2 in the process within the extension so you may easily know what to do and when to click. So as of version 16.0 no more highlighting the URL, copy/paste in the rooms tab. Just click a button. Details in the help for version 16.0 when it becomes available
• Meets ALWAYS automatically force me to Join: This is also fixed in version 16.0 There will be two checkboxes in the settings to control this for the main room and also breakouts. This will be explained in the version 16.0 help video once version 16.0 is released (estimated August 19)
• Retile for Google Classroom Main room restarts that room: I already fixed this in my development version of version 16.0. This will smoothly retile all rooms with no restarting.

Version 0.0.16.0

Features
• Picture background for the Slider and Broadcast sections This is controlled in the settings where you may choose an URL image link as your background. Additionally you can control the position, size, text color and background matte color if the image size is Contain and there is some blank space on the background
• Auto Join Meet is Configureable in the Settings: There are two checkboxes, one each for the main rooms and one for the breakouts. If these are checked, then the respective room type (main or breakout) will automatically be joined. Otherwise, it will open the window but wait for you to click Join
• Re-Tile Google Classrooms: Now this is a smooth process and it does not automatically restart the window
• Google Classroom Sync is just a Click: In the "Start Class with Google Classroom", there is a button to automatically sync up the extension with Google Classroom. Just click it and you are in sync. No need to copy the url and paste it in the Rooms tab. This button does all that for you
• Broadcast is now only to Breakouts: There was a feedback issue when the broadcast to breakouts also broadcast to the main room. Now broadcast only broadcasts into the breakouts. If you also want to broadcast into the Main room then you may also directly click on the Main room microphone (and video) to broadcat there as well
• Automatically create new links for rooms when they are opened: This is a configureable setting for the main room and the breakout rooms. There is one checkbox for Main rooms and one checkbox for Breakout rooms, because in some cases the main room link should be static but the breakouts links should be dynamically created each time. If checked on, then a brand new room link will be created when the teacher opens the room. This is creating new room links "on the fly". After defining the room names in the Rooms tab, if this checkbox is on (separate checkbox for main and breakout categories) then a new room link will be created whenever that room is opened. With this checkbox on, there will be no need to go to the Rooms tab to blank out the room if the teacher wants a new link, because a new link will be created automatically whenever the room is opened.
• Remove All Participants from All Breakouts: Now you can with a click of a button remove all participants from all breakout rooms. This will not remove students from the main room, just from ALL of the breakouts. If you want students removed from the main room then you can use the single room button option just above the Remove All from All Breakouts.
• The Close Room button is removed because it is redundant and slightly problematic: This button is the same as directly closing the window and it occasionally causes some microphone issues. Since this has no functionality over the normal close and it occasionally causes problems it is removed. The process is still the same. First remove students then close the room just like you close down any window. You can even use a command/control W on that window to close it after you first removed the students

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Feedback when Broadcasting: The speaker button is on for all the breakouts when you first turn on the microphone. In the next version I will make sure that when the broadcast microphone is turned on all the breakout rooms speakers will be turned off. WORKAROUND: Before you turn on the microphone, please toggle the broadcast speaker button until you see all the breakout rooms speakers turn off. Then you can turn on the broadcast microphone. I will fix this in the next version which I will upload to Google by August 23 or so.
• Remove All Participants from All Rooms button does not work properly if there are "resource" room(s) opened. Resource rooms are any non-meet rooms that are defined in the list of your rooms in the extension. An example of a resource room is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy. I fixed this in version 16.1 but the workaround is to go to the rooms tab on the extension and move all the resources to the bottom of the list of rooms. You can do this step while all the rooms are still open, go to the rooms tab and rearrange the order and save. Now you can click on the Remove All Participants from All Rooms button. If you never define any resources in the rooms list then you will not have this problem in v16.0

Version 0.0.16.1

Features
• Control Panel scrollbar Added a verical scrollbar on the control panel so teachers can move it up and down on their smartboards. This should work properly now on smartboards for scrolling, but if not then please contact me and let me know
• Broadcast speaker off Automatically initially turns off the speaker for all breakouts when the teacher uses the broadcast microphone to all breakouts
• Fixed Remove All Participants from All Breakouts with there is a Resource room Resource rooms are any non-meet rooms that are defined in the list of your rooms in the extension. An example of a resource room is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy. Now this function should work properly for all breakout rooms even when there is a resource in the middle

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Computer Slow and Latency Issue I found an area where I can consume fewer resources when running the extension. That is fixed in version 16.2 and I hope that solves the latency problem.
• Nicknames in Version 16.2 Nicknames coming in version 16.2.
• Sync Extension for all Browsers I plan to include this in 16.3. In the meantime, the workaround if you have multiple computers is to export from the Courses tab (black button on far right) from your one computer and then import from the Courses tab into your second computer

Version 0.0.16.2

Features
• Nicknames Now you can use nicknames for Rooms links!!!
• Google Classroom teachers There is a required change in version 16.2 for Google Classrom users for their main room link. Please copy your "meet link" from the Google Classroom page into the extension as your Main room link in the Rooms tab. Please refer to this video for detailed instructions. Non Google Classroom users do not need to change anything.
• Codes You can use just the 10 character code separated with dashes in an 3-4-3 format as your Rooms links
• Backward Compatibility You can still enter and use the static Meet url addresses as your Rooms tab link. There is still the automatic creation of Meet url links. All you have to to do is leave the field blank, just as before in version 16.1 and below

• Known Issues and Workarounds
  • Error message: TypeError: Error in invocation of tabs.sendMessage(integer tabId, any message, optional object options, optional function responseCallback): No matching signature. This is obviously an uncaught error on my side and I'm sorry it caused you problems. Please go to the Rooms tab and re-save the links. If that doesn't work then blank out the links and click save.
  • Extension is active for non-relevant meets: This is a bug that I am fixing in v16.3 expected release Sept 5. The bug is that the extension is active for meets that are not breakout related, that is meets that are not defined in the Rooms tab
  • These suggestions worked for me when I had audio problems
    • Refresh on the meet/tile, Refresh the Control Panel Command/control R
    • Turn the extension on/off by going to the Chrome browser, Window menu option, Choose Extension. Turn the extension off/on using the slider button This does not delete your extension data and does not remove or disturb your participants
    • "Punted" closed all the windows, Command/control W That did not remove participants and did not disturb them Re-opened everything. That worked!!!

Version 0.0.16.3

Features
• Error tabs.sendMessage Fixed some of the errors on opening...invocation of tabs.sendMessage..
• Error active for other meets Fixed some errors on freezing up other meets. Now the extension will only be active for meets that are defined in its Rooms tab. All other meets will be ignored

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Additional Problems with the above two issues There are still some issues with the above two problems. That is addressed in 16.4
• Audio Feedback and Button Issues There are still some issues which is addressed in 16.4
• Problems saving the room tab links There is a one-off problem with the saving of room tab links for the static automatic links (purples) and also the nicknames (greens). I worked with a teacher online who put together training for his fellow teachers and all of them can create and save no problem, but suddenly he cannot even though he previously was able to. We worked online together to narrow it down to his computer because when he swapped out another computer it worked. I still am investigating this issue and don't have an answer yet

Version 0.0.16.4

Features
• Audio problems This was not fixed yet
• Restored functionality for Generic Meets to use the Extension buttons and features I restored the colors and speaker button for non-breakout rooms meets. Sorry about that

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Audio problems with the speaker
• Problems saving the room tab links There is a one-off problem with the saving of room tab links for the static automatic links (purples) and also the nicknames (greens). I worked with a teacher online who put together training for his fellow teachers and all of them can create and save no problem, but suddenly he cannot even though he previously was able to. We worked online together to narrow it down to his computer because when he swapped out another computer it worked. I still am investigating this issue and don't have an answer yet

Version 0.0.16.5

Features
• Fix Audio problems Some teachers were not able to hear their students even though the speaker button was on. I believe this v16.5 will finally fix that problem as well as some other anomalies associated with the mic and speaker. If you still experience problems please let me know so I can know the details of how it happened. We may want to schedule a meet where you can show me, if that is convenient for you.
• Rooms tab edit checks For google classroom lookup meet links, strips out the prefix to get the nickname. Prevents users from entering incorrect formats such as g.co/meet/xxxxx. If you want to enter a nickname just enter the nickname Also prevents users from entering meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij. The prefix will be stripped out as just abc-defg-hij
• Countdown timer Chime at one minute and completion. This is only displayed on the teacher's screen
• Students Status Report Lists all the students in all the breakouts, according to their assigned rooms and actual rooms attended. Can use this report to monitor whether students go to the correct rooms or not. Can also identify if they invited their friends to join the breakouts
• Breakout Rooms Status Report Similar to the Students Status Report but organized by breakout rooms

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Loss of data and unable to save I inadverdantly enabled the browser sync capability in this version which caused the data to be deleted. This also caused a problem in saving the links because the browser sync storage is limited in size and would not save any more links. I will revert back to previous browser storage method and I hope that it will be approved by Google by tomorrow morning, Sept 15. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience. Please look for version 16.6
• Unnecessary Delay in Speaker Button Update I just sent up this version and finally found the latency problem in the speaker button when clicking through the slider. The good news is I just fixed it on my development system and will send it up tomorrow. The problem is that there is an unnecessary 1/2 second delay in the speaker button. I removed this speaker button delay and will send up version 16.6 tomorrow (9/15). I think this speaker button problem will finally be put to rest tomorrow in version 16.6. In my testing, if you are only turning on the speaker button, you can go crazy on the slider, grabbing the yellow dot and swinging it back and forth. The meets all keep up and there is no out of sync problems. Finally can fully use the slider and grab the yellow dot moving it back and forth at will!

Version 0.0.16.6

Features
• Fix Browser Save Reverted back to non-sync browser save so that all the links can be saved. Browser sync has a very limited storage capacity so reverted back to original. The browser sync was mistakenly included in the version 16.5 which caused all the save and loss of data problems. This was inadverdantly added in 16.5 and I'm sorry for the inconvenience it caused everyone. Upgrades should not cause any data loss, however, just to be on the safe side I advise everyone to regularly use the export function in the Courses tab. The export option in the Courses tab exports all the data in the extension to a file in your download folder.

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Speaker Button... Some teachers are reporting that they are still hearing sound from other rooms. If that is the case for you, can you please help me identify this problem? I have a video that shows how you can help... https://youtu.be/pbiy5gHZKcw

Version 0.0.16.7

Features
• Multi Monitors Open Breakouts Open breakout rooms in the same monitor as the control panel
• More Edit Checks on Room Meet Input Prevent the "?authuser=..." suffix from being entered in the room link for the statics (purples). Only the link in the format https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij should be entered and with no suffix. This edit check automatically strips off any suffix

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Tabs not working I am working on this now and will upload a fix soon. For now, please use tiles option in the settings and then drag the tabs together. Sorry about that! A fix will come soon - hopefully today 9/29
• Microphone dropping... One teacher mentioned that if the microphone occasionally dropped and tied the problem back to the sound card in the system settings. If you are experiencing a similar problem then you may want to check you system settings to make sure the correct sound card is selected

Version 0.0.16.8

Features
• Fixed the Tabs Error Fixed the tabs error. This was an error from the update on the multiple monitors. Tabs is working now.

Version 0.0.16.9

Features
• Fixed Some External Monitor Display Issues Small issues with improper sizes for retabs

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Speaker Issues If you are having speaker/microphone issues, I found that most of these are due to an external monitor. You can try disonnecting the external monitor and run it all on your one computer and see if that solves it. I know that's not really a good solution but at the moment that is what I am able to narrow it down to. I have a video that shows how you can help me debug it and send me screenshots if you have the time and feel inclined to help out. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/pbiy5gHZKcw

Version 0.0.17.0

Features
• Small Computers Can Now Run the Extension Computers with low RAM (less than 8G RAM) can now run the extension in the Low RAM Option which opens the breakouts one at a time. This conserves memory and allows the small computers to run 20 or more breakout rooms no problem. The Low RAM Option is a checkbox in the Meet tab in the Start section. There is a Help link for more information in the checkbox section.

Version 0.0.17.1

Features
• Fixed the Auto Admit option for Outside Participants Periodically Google makes changes to their program and the popup address slightly changed so I updated the code to find this new address
• Fixed the Remove Participants function Periodically Google makes changes to their program and the remove participants popup slightly changed so I updated the code accordingly
• Slight change to the speaker button updates which may fix the audio bleed from other rooms Removed any delay in updating the speaker button, so hopefully this may address the room audio overlap. This has been a difficult problem for me to identify and debug because I have not been able to duplicate this problem on my system.

Version 0.0.17.2

Features
• Added feature to hide/unhide bottom border Button on top right of control panel will hide/unhide the bottom border in the google meets

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Random, intermittent audio bleed between rooms I'm still tracking this down. One teacher said that if he closed the main room window that stopped the bleed between rooms. Another option is to close all the meet windows (don't kick out the students, just close your windows) and then reopend them using the Open/Synch All Rooms option in the Start Class section of the Meet tab

Version 0.0.17.3

Features
• Language Support for Traditional Chinese Language support for traditional chinese 繁體字。 This was a huge undertaking to make all the text markup in variable form, but now that it is done, I plan to add other languages such as German, Spanish, etc. Currently the help is still in English and that is Phase II of the internationalization of the extension.
• Error message for spinners bouncing forever The spinners bounce forever if there is an "old" meet that is still open and the extension tries unsuccessfully to reconnect. The extension cannot connect sync in some cases so an error message is given with instructions to close all old meets and then rerun the extension. Please do not uninstall the extension. Just close it and and close all the current meet windows, then reopen. Closing a meet window does not remove any students or affect them in any way.

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Error in opening meets with nicknamesGoogle made a change to their program so I am making a change to my extension
• Found the reasons for the audio bleed through between rooms (or unexpected muting of rooms) Just turn off and on the extension by going to the extension management page on your chrome browser, which is Window / Extension and then find Google Meet Breakout Rooms. Next click on the slider to the left which turns "off" the extension. Next completely Quit Chrome (not just close windows, completely Quit chrome). Next open up Chrome again and go back to the extension page and click on the slider to the right to turn it "on". This does not delete any of your extension data. It is similar to a reboot on your computer system but it just reboots the extension, keeping all your data. If this problem still persists then please email me at robert@hudektech.com so we can figure out what's going on in your system and solve it. But this has worked for the teachers who notified me of this problem so please try this first. Thanks!

Version 0.0.17.4

Features
• Fixed the error on opening Nicknames Google made a small change to their program which required me to make a small change on my side.

Known Issues and Workarounds
• Sound issues: Reset the Extension. Here's how:

  Note: To fix the sound problem between rooms the extension must be reset. Uninstalling and re-installing the extension will NOT fix the problem. The good news is that following these reset steps your data will NOT be deleted. However, just to be on the safe side you may want to export your data using the extension tab Courses / Export

  I have a YouTube explaining this here: YouTube link

  Please following these instructions exactly.

  1. Go to the Extension page in Chrome and turn OFF my extension.
     • On a Mac, go to the Chrome menu and choose the Windows top-level menu, then underneath that is Extensions sub-level menu option and click on that.
     • For Windows, I believe it is similar. Another way to get to the Extensions page for Chrome is to click on the puzzle piece on the menu bar.
     • Once you are on the Chrome/Extension page, click left on the slider there to turn OFF my extension Google Meet Breakout Rooms.
  2. Quit/Exit chrome completely.
     • On a Mac this is done by going to the Chrome menu, click on Quit Chrome. Mac keyboard shortcut ⌘ Cmd + Q will also work.
     • On Windows this is Exit Chrome.

       Click the “≡” button in the upper right corner of the Chrome browser window. Select the Exit button. This will close all tabs and windows and end the process.

       Windows shortcut Windows keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Shift + Q or Alt + F4 + Q will also work.

       If you still cannot find an Exit option for windows using the above, then you can also try right clicking on the Chrome icon in the taskbar, then select Exit.

       You must Quit chrome for Mac or Exit chrome for Windows for this reset to work. Please do not just close the windows because that will NOT reset the extension. You must Quit chrome for the Mac or Exit chrome for Windows. Also uninstalling and reinstalling the extension will not reset the extension.

  3. Re-open Chrome.
  4. Go back to the Extension page in Chrome and turn ON my extension.
  • Click right on the slider there to turn ON my extension Google Meet Breakout Rooms
  • Your extension is reset so now it should work properly and clear up the sound issues.

Version 0.0.17.5

Features
• Fixed the Audio problem inside and between rooms Here's the youtube video which explains it, or you can read below. To use this new solution please go to the control panel, settings tab, and all the way down to the bottom there is a section "New Fix for Audio Mute Problem between Rooms" and check the box
• 解法斷斷續續、隨機發生的喇叭問題 這是說明明影片 其實不用看，簡單的說，請到分組控制面板的「一般設定」，然後在最下面是個段落叫做「新解法針對喇叭斷斷續續隨機的問題」，更下面是個打勾。打勾 X 代表你想使用新的解決喇叭問題的方法（我建議），如果發現任何問題還是能退回原本的方法，就要再次打勾（空的）。特別注意：每次你打勾，如果那時已有開的meets，你必須把所有meets都關掉重新開。為什麼？因為meets半途而變了，剛切換的解法就不曉的得目前的狀態如何（開或關的），所以必須把已有開的meets都關掉重新開。
Known Issues and Workarounds
• I do not recommend using the extension Grid View Fix. Based on my testing and users' feedback, it does not seem to work properly. Instead, I recommend going with the standard google meet functionality for tile display. In the settings section (bottom right hand side of meet), click on that and then choose Change Layout, then move the slider all the way to the right for 49 students
• 我不建議下載使用Grid View Fix 擴充功能因為根據我自己測試與使用者的反應，好像那個擴充功能不太有用。 不然能用Google Meet 本身的功能。在Meet視訊的下面最右邊的「。。。」 請按那個設定按鈕，然後在「變更版面配置」，選「圖塊」， 拉下面的slider到49

Version 0.0.17.6

Features
• Updated the extension to work with new Google Meet look and feel. Google Meet will fully roll out their new look on June 10 but have already started limited roll out. The buttons changed which means that my extension must change to match up correctly
Known Issues and Workarounds
• None at this time

Version 0.0.17.7

Features
• Updated the hide/unhide option to work with the new look of google meet
• Updated the toolbar colors options to work with for the new look of google meet
• Make the default for audio to be the new audio option, which is more stable. The checkbox is now 'on' by default in the Settings tab. I plan to make this the permanent option and this is the intermediate step.
• 更改 隱藏/出現ToolBar 的按鈕 能跟新的google meet 使用
• 更改 ToolBar的顏色 能跟新的google meet 使用
• 更改 喇叭聲音勾選的默認，變成勾選‘X',在一般設定最下面的。如果再過了兩個禮拜後，這個解法都沒問題，我打算把這個喇叭聲音解法變成固定的解法
Known Issues and Workarounds
• None at this time

Version 0.0.17.8

Features
• Upgrade extension to chrome extension v3
Known Issues and Workarounds
• None at this time

Version 0.0.17.9

Features
• Fix the mute all and remove all buttons
• Fix the broadcast microphone functionality so it does not automatically mute the broadcast speaker. In the past, the broadcast "on" for microphone automatically muted the broadcast speaker "off" which may be convenient for some but it caused confusion so I made each button independent. If you want to broadcast talk and not hear everyone at the same time, you can mute the broadcast speaker and then turn on the broadcast microphone
Known Issues and Workarounds
• There is a bug where the meets are not able to be opened in tab view. This is fixed in version 18.0

Version 0.0.18.0

Features
• Fix the option to open meets in tab view (versus tile view which is the default). There was a bug where it did not open in tab view and it is fixed in this version
Known Issues and Workarounds
• None at this time

Version 0.0.18.1

Features
• Add Ukrainian translation
• Many thanks to Igor Kozachuk (email disk.igor@gmail.com) for translation into Ukrainian
Known Issues and Workarounds
• Speaker button disappears on breakouts and audio bleed between rooms. This is because of a Google Meet update which broke my extension. Sometimes when Google changes their interface it causes my extension to loose it's connection to Google Meet because extensions work on top of the underlying program. If the underlying program changes then the extension needs to be adjusted for this change. I fixed this in version 18.2 which I hope will be approved by Monday or Tuesday, December 13 or 14. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

Version 0.0.18.2

Features
• Fixed the speaker button and audio bleed problem, which was casued by a Google Meet update which broke my extension. Sometimes when Google changes their interface it causes my extension to loose it's connection to Google Meet because extensions work on top of the underlying program. If the underlying program changes then the extension needs to be adjusted for this change.
Known Issues and Workarounds
• There is still an audio problem which bleeds through all the rooms. I fixed it this morning (12/14/2021) for version 18.3 and just noticed that this version 18.3 has been approved by Google Chrome store. If you're system has not automatically updated to version 18.3 you can force an update by clicking on the "Update" button in the extensions page of chrome

Features
• Second fix for the audio bleed problem due to Google Meet programming change

Version 0.0.18.4

Features
• Added Slovak language
• Many thanks to Lenka Zustiaková from Secondary School GaHS, Farského 9 in Petržalka (www.farskeho.sk ) for translating into Slovakian
Known Issues and Workarounds
• Problems with echo. This is due to a mixed environment where google has both a new and old interface which causes problems for the extension to hook onto properly. The old and new interface may look identical to the user but inside they changed tags which I need to match in order to work properly. I just updated the new version 18.5 and uploaded it today, Monday 1/10 and Google usually takes one day or so to approve, so it should be available sometime Tuesday 1/11 or Wednesday 1/12. Sorry for the invconvenience. Thank you to all the teachers who let me know of this issues.

Version 19.0

Features
• Updated online help
Known Issues and Workarounds
• Speaker button randomly does not appear. I submitted an update fix for this problem 2 days ago and am waiting for approval. I'm not sure why the process is longer this time, but in the meantime you can do this Refresh the meet that has the missing speaker by clicking on the meet window and then click: Control R or Command R to refresh the window. That should fix that individual meet. I have already submitted a fix and it will be version 19.1. Hopefully Google will approve that soon. Sorry for the inconvenience

Version 19.3

Features
• New Color Themes: Around 20 different themes, light and dark. The original control panel is the "Classic Light"
Known Issues and Workarounds
• There are some occasional reports of a room where the audio randomly does not work properly. If that happens, then you may try to click: Control R or Command R to refresh the window. If this happens on a regular basis, then please email me so I can investigate it and perhaps set up a meet to discuss and take a look at the situation

Version 19.7

Features
• Fix the speaker and microphone buttons, they were not toggling on/off colors correctly
• Add Spanish language
• Fix the meet bottom bar color scheme
Known Issues and Workarounds
• There is a problem where the meets open in the wrong mode and the speaker button does not appear...I fixed this in version 19.8 which is currently in the approval process. I really apologize for this problem. It is due to google meet changing their interface so my extension needs to adjust to this new structure, which I did change but it is in version 19.8 under review. In the meantime, if you are quick on the keyboard, please click the blue "Join Now" button and then you can avoid this problem for each of the meets. I understand this can be challenging if you open many meets at the same time, but unfortunately I do not have any other manual workarounds until 19.8 gets approved. Perhaps can one by one open the breakouts, such say there are 1 breakouts, click Join Now, then say there are 2 breakouts, then click Join Now for that breakout, and so on. Then finally click the retile windows button (top right side on control panel, red button second from the left) to get all the windows retiled nicely. Again, sorry for the inconvenience and it should be fixed in the next day or two, depending on Google's approval process
• This is the first iteration of the Spanish language. If you find some errors please email me and let me know how to change the spelling, etc. hudektech@gmail.com
