mercator's Introduction

Mercator Studio gives you fine control over your appearance on Google Meet.

Precisely adjust lighting and colors:
· Exposure & Contrast
· Temperature & Tint
· Hue & Saturation
· Sepia & Blur
· Fade & Vignette

Move the focus to where you want it:
· Rotate, Scale, Mirror & Flip
· Horizontal & Vertical Translate
· Pillarbox & Letterbox Crop

Write text & emoji in front of your face:
· Auto-adjusts size to fit any length of text onto the screen.
· Auto-converts \sqrt to √, \times to ×, \cdot to ·, \pm to ±, ^number to ¹², and _number to ₄₂.

Somewhat nice presets:
· Concorde
· Mono
· Matcha
· Deepfry

Scroll, drag, or use arrow keys on the sliders to adjust; Right click or press 0 on them to reset; And hold down Ctrl or Shift for finer steps.

Ctrl + M to open/close the interface. Ctrl + Shift + M to minimize it.

This project is no longer in active development. As the pandemic subsides in my area, so has my use of Google Meet, and with it Mercator Studio. At the same time, I think its development has reached a calm plateau.

My fingers are crossed that Mercator will continue working for those still learning or working from home, but I will no longer add new features or patch minor bugs. Though, if there are any changes to Google Meet that breaks the core functionality of Mercator Studio, I will strive to get them fixed.

Until then, thank you for all of your support. I know this year must have been awful for a lot of you. I hope my extension helped alleviate some of your camera anxieties, or caused some laughter as you turned your skin blue.

Best regards,
Xing Liu

mercator's Issues

Doesn't work with external camera

Running Meet Studio Mini will work from my laptop's built-in camera, but doesn't apply any effects when used with my external USB camera.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for the Matrix Rain extension also by Xing, it works on both the internal and external camera.

Feature: Persist adjustments across sessions

Make the adjustment values available in their own object
Make a function for changing the slider values based on the object
Utilize the Local Storage API to persist the object

Changing meeting room breaks preview

Changing meeting rooms such as moving from the main room to a breakout room breaks the preview in the extension. Can be briefly fixed by turning the camera on and off.

[Feature Request] Pixelation

Pixelation would be nice to have too.

Weird behavior if letterbox/pillarbox settings are changed after freeze

As per the title, if you turn on freeze with some amount of pillarboxing, then reset the pillarboxing value to 0, the edges of the image will show the current camera output.

I am willing to submit a PR to fix this, however I am unsure of what the behavior should be. Should we take a new image if settings change? Should we just clear everything before drawing the frozen image?

WISH: Position of text

It would neat if one could x-y adjust the position of the text, for instance, so that I can put my name tag at the bottom of my video stream.

PS. Thanks for this work

Using with Visual Effects for Google Meet and then disabling/uninstalling Visual Effects for Google Meet disables recognition of camera

Installed Visual Effects for Google Meet and then installed Mercator Studio (Chrome). Disabling Visual Effects disabled Mercator Studio's recognition of camera. Re-enabling Visual Effects re-enabled camera recognition for Mercator Studio. Uninstalling Visual Effects had same result. Problem persists with uninstall and reinstall of Mercator Studio. If Visual Effects for Google Meet is installed, Mercator Effects will only recognize camera with Visual Effects enabled.

[Feature Request] Add a way to completely hide the bar

The bar that creates a dropdown menu is too big and can obstruct the top left camera.

A suggestion could be to have a small sliver of the menu which can pull down when the mouse hovers over it.

SVG filters not working on firefox

Hey, love the idea for this! It doesn't seem to be working on Firefox for me... I'm using greasemonkey, and it shows the Studio Mini controls, but nothing happens when I adjust them while on google meet. It works fine on your demo site though, which suggests it may be an issue with the greasemonkey script..maybe an old version?

Sharing screen disables camera

Hello, there! I've noticed that when I share my screen, my camera image disappears. Even after disabling sharing, the problem persists.

If tab is not focused, Mercator output freezes

Present since 1.15.0

Input from camera looks fine, but the output from Mercator's Studio flickers

In Google Chrome, the extension works like a charm, and it's really useful to make the scene much brighter and vivid. However, in Microsoft Edge (using Chromium's engine), the output from mercator studio flickers and tears for some reason, but the input shown on the left (directly from the camera) is alright. Any ideas on how I could fix this?

Thanks!

"Realistic" freeze frame

Here's a feature request/idea: Instead of having a single frame of freeze, maybe allow recording of a small fragment of video that can then be played back repeatedly to simulate motion? Maybe even played first forwards then backwards to make sure we have a perfect loop.

[Feature Request] Background blur

As per title
