Auto join and auto leave Google Meets 🖥️

We are all fed up of keeping track of google meet/ zoom links for our meetings. This chrome extension makes your life easy! You just have to enter the start and end (optional) time of your meeting in the Custom Tab and this extension would auto join and auto leave the meeting for you!🚀

Students from IIT Jodhpur can select their slots and courses from the Student Tab 🎓

Tech stack

React JS ⚛️ has been used in frontend and the backend workflow is established mainly using chrome.storage and chrome.alarms ⏰

Description

• To add an alarm, add the link and set the start and end (optional) time in the Custom Tab
• IIT Jodhpur students can also select from the Slot and Course list in the Student Tab
• The switch on the top is an on/off switch for the extension. If you turn it off, no alarms will get triggered.

• The Alarm tab shows a list of all the alarms

• The Upcoming tab shows you the alarms set for Today, Tomorrow and Later

  • If you want to urgently join the meeting, just click on the course code given in the list. It will take you to the meeting!
  • If you want to silent an alarm or don't want it to ring because of some reason, click on the tick mark on the left to turn it off/on.

• The most important thing for the auto join feature to work is the User Account and the Auto Join switch in the Settings tab. Similarly, the auto leave function won't work if the Auto Leave switch is turned off.

• The image above shows some of the accounts a user might have registered in chrome. To use the Auto Join feature, the user must see the index of his/ her account using which they want to join the meeting (IIT Jodhpur students must check the index of their IITJ email id) and select that number in the User Account dropdown list. Here, the index shown is 2 and therefore 2 is selected in the User Account dropdown list.

• If the Auto Join switch is turned off in the Settings tab, alarm will ring and the link will get opened but it won't auto join the meeting for you.

• If the Auto Leave switch is turned off in the Settings tab, the Auto Leave feature won't work even if you had entered the end time.

• You can even customize the start time according to you. By default the start time is set to 30 seconds before the meeting time. What this means is that if the alarm is set for 4:00:00 pm, the link will get opened at 3:59:30 pm. One can change it to anything according to his/ her convenience.

meet-scheduler's Issues

React JS setup for popup

Currently plain HML, CSS and JS is used for frontend. Need to migrate to React JS

Add dedicated icon

Create a simple icon for the extension

Issue adding daily custom alarms

• when we add a custom alarm and set it's daily, then it's showing only once in the upcoming, and after the first alarm rang time is not changing in upcoming

More Repeat Options & Custom Alarm Edit

1. I think it would be a very nice touch to have some more repeat options rather than "daily", "weekly", "once". I think being able to set your own repeat time would be awesome or add more options like "every other day".

2. Please make it so you can edit existing custom alarms, this would be so helpful if a link changes or you set the wrong time.

Time until next meeting/class

A countdown to show when is the next meeting or class.
This can be shown below the buttons on the home page.
And also on top of the "Upcoming" page

Add auto exit feature

Currently, we only have the auto-join feature and not the auto-exit feature.
We can add this feature and can improve the user experience.

Add other google meet utility abilities

Parent issue to track the development of other support features.
Example functionalities to include:

• Toggle mic to speak by pressing a key (mute/unmute)
• Leave confirmation

Other ideas can be inspired from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ljojmlmdapmnibgflmmminacbjebjpno

Add new issues addressing these points, and link them to this parent issue.

Clickable links on schedule tab

The cards here should be made clickable with the google meet links, so that if someone wants to join earlier or do something else, they would be able to do that.

Add support for webex links

Issue: Currently, we only support Google Meet and Zoom meeting links.

To do: Need to add support for Webex also.

Add settings tab

• add settings tag in bottom navbar
• it should consist following
  • authuser
  • default time settings. e.g. if we want to open every link before 2 or 3 minute
  • auto join boolean value (default should be True)

Issue while silencing instance of an alarm

Issue

• When an alarm is made silent for any particular instance, it got quiet for that slot, e.g., I silent alarm for this Monday morning class, then it got quiet for every Monday morning.

Possible Fix

• Toggle alarm silent boolean to false when the alarm rings.

Add option to edit previous alarms

Issue: Currently, we do not support editing of already created alarms.

To do: Need to add a separate page to edit alarms or add an edit option in the Upcoming page itself and create a popup to update the data

Fix upcoming alarms and settings patch

New changes breaks the current logic to update alarms in upcoming alarms and settings tab

Upcoming alarm tab is blank

Issue

• upcoming is blank even after adding 5 courses
  

Possible explanation

• It's taking too much time to render list item(In my case it is 40 items)

Slot F is creating problem

• According to current logic first character is checked as slot in timetable which leads to consider Friday word as F slot and leads to spliting of undefined error at sheetapi.js:77

Make category in upcoming

Make collapsable categories in upcoming.
Like Today, Tomorrow, and then date wise

Add delete instance option

• add delete option in upcoming page, like if particular class canceled for particular day then we should be able to do it.

Convert setTimeInterval to DOM event

File needs to be changed

• src/scripts/meet.js

Feature Request - Add an option to automatically mark attendance

Many Courses have attendance form shared in the chat which are google forms.
A feature can be added to check if a link has been posted in the chat and then making a post request with the persons name and roll number.

Auto join meet class

• After opening URL auto join in google meet

Auto toggle on blur background when joining in Google Meet

Repetition of same slot

• currently if we add same slot more then once then in Alarms tab it is showing only once but in upcoming it is showing multiple times

Add kill switch

There should be a global kill switch option to stop the extension from running.
Like a basic switch toggle on the page if you turn it off then no alarms will go off.

Add chrome extension link with store icon in repo README

UI Enhancements

Make the colour change in the save button more prominent when it is clickable or not.

Make it more clear that this clock button is clickable. Maybe add a tick in default?

first class never opens itself

• first-class every day never opens itself

Update README

• add dev steps in README.md

Fetch links from classroom

Hello dev!

So I installed the extension, but still, following the READ.ME I was not able to find my courses in the drop down menu. Would you like posting a very detailed step by step where to click kind of description? I really just can't get something so great working.

Thanks!

404 error on GET request to fetch Course and Slots data from Google Sheet

Because of some updates in the Google Sheet version, the current version gives a 404 error on a GET request to fetch Course and Slots data for IIT Jodhpur students.

Auto Join problem when session is being recorded

Hi,

The scheduler works per described except when the session is being recorded.
When the session is recorded, auto join cannot complete and gets stuck as per screenshot below.
Any suggestion to overcome this?

Change time format

In upcoming tab show time in 12 hour format.

Start time update not updating existing upcoming items

Updating the start time from settings does not update the existing objects in the upcoming items list. This should ideally be auto updated.

Add google sheet link option in settings

Make the google sheet link dynamic so that the user can just update it from settings page which will be created as part of #28

Missed alarms handling

• When browser opens, if there are missed alarms then they all opens simultaneously which shouldn't happen.

Project structure

• it seems react-setup is root folder for project and files in current root is useless.
• add formatting in each files

Update alarm on changing the time interval in settings

Existing alarms needs to be updated whenever user changes duration in settings

Setup github action CI to zip and release

Remove unnecessary files

remove assets and containers folder from react-setup/src folder

Add option to add custom time and link

Often classes get rescheduled
Also there might be other use cases where people might want to use this
So we should also have a generic feature for this as well, because I feel in the current state where this is strongly coupled with IITJ's schedule, there would be issue getting store review passed.

Bug while removing event

By clicking on X in any event, it always removes the last event from the list
