Google Meet Fullscreen

Google Meet Fullscreen adds a small fullscreen button to every participant's video tile in a Google Meet call. Hover any tile and click the button to expand that single video to fill your screen — no other apps, no other participants, no distractions. Click again (or press Esc) to return to the normal grid. Why you'll want this • Follow a speaker's expressions and slides without the rest of the grid fighting for attention. • Sign-language interpretation, remote interviews, demos, or 1:1 coaching — any time one person on the call matters most. • Watch a screen-share tile at native fullscreen resolution instead of squeezed into a grid cell. • Presentations and webinars: pin the presenter to fullscreen with one click, no layout switching. How it works 1. Join any meeting on meet.google.com. 2. Move your cursor over the participant you want to focus on. 3. Click the fullscreen icon that appears in the top-right corner of their tile. 4. Press Esc or click the icon again to exit fullscreen. Built to stay out of the way • Works only on meet.google.com — the extension has no access to any other site. • Uses the browser's native Fullscreen API — no recording, no screen capture, no streaming. • No accounts, no sign-in, no tracking. Nothing leaves your browser. • No background processes, no popups, no analytics. • Open source — the full code is available on GitHub so you can review exactly what runs. Permissions explained • Host access to meet.google.com is required to add the fullscreen button on top of Meet's video tiles. • activeTab and scripting are the standard permissions required to inject a content script into the Meet tab. That's the entire scope. The extension does nothing else. Troubleshooting • If the button doesn't appear, refresh the Meet tab after installing. • If a tile goes black when fullscreened, exit fullscreen and click the button again — Meet occasionally re-creates tiles during layout changes. • Compatible with Chrome on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS).
