alert-me-google-meet's Issues

Sound Notification

Hi there!. I myself was thinking of writing this extension for my personal use but i wanted to check if there was an already existing solution and i found yours. It's exactly what i wanted except one thing missing: There's no sound notification. I want it to alert me by making a sound.

Breaking changes due to minor DOM update in Meet

The Intro

If you have inspected the DOM of any Meet call, it's pretty much this:

And most of the work this extension does is select all these nodes and match you're keywords with its data. You can see it content.js.

The Problem

But surprisingly today, there's been a minor change in Meet's DOM which is

jscontroller="D1tHje" -> jscontroller="TEjq6e"

You can see the new DOM here:

Hence, you might have got this error in your Meet's console:

The Solutions

This is easily fixable if we change, this and this lines, but I'm afraid this could also break soon which is not a good practice. (Not to mention, other query selectors we use in this which can break at some point)

So:

• ofcourse, I'll pull out the fix as mentioned so it'll be functional instantly
• but, also there needs to be a better way to achieve this. (on which I want your opinions)

Thanks!

How to turn on caption?

I turned on Live Caption in Chrome but it still says: "Turn on your captions".
How do I turn it on?

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null

getting this issue on first-time use
Also I can not find div with with property jscontroller=D1tHje on inspection

Add a simple check to not notify the browser's notification system if the previous captions behind the alert word are the same.

Make a check or simple cache to not alert the browser notification system if the 5 previous words before the alert words are not the same. Most of the time, nobody says the same phrase more than thrice so this is a good thing to add to the 0.22 beta. I received 30 notifications and this is very annoying.
