Describe what is broken Hello! When I am using google meet with 31 other members and I present, the presentation is too large to be able to see all the members.

Expected behavior Normally, I could use the grid view extension and it would adjust the size of the presentation to allow all the members to appear.

Screenshots None available now.

Software used:

  • OS [e.g. Windows 10]:
  • Browser [e.g. Chrome, Firefox]:
  • Version [e.g. 22]:
  • Extension [e.g. Official Chrome Extension, Tampermonkey]:
  • Grid View Version [e.g. 1.19, 1.23]:

Additional context The best solution would be to fix the extension to meet the update for google meet. I am unable to present and see all the members as well as when someone else presents the presentation is too large and i can only see 4 out of 31 members.

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).
