Slack on Keys

google-meet-slack-integration's Issues

Slack status not updating

I am using a Mac, Google Chrome. I installed the chrome extension using the instructions provided. Generated a key, added to the extension. I have been in a Google Meet for about 10 minutes with no status change. I tried once by creating and joining an instant meeting, and again by scheduling a meeting. I followed the remediation steps and copied an emoji from Slack to the extension. Still no status update in Slack.

Provide intuitive yet powerful way to input emojis

Currently, large scope for error does not help in visualising the emoji, during selection

Set back the previous emoji status (on reset)

First issue 🎉

Hello!

I have a (custom) emoji as a status when I'm not in a meeting and when the extension resets my status, my previous emoji is reset too 😞
It should be great if the extension can get user status before setting the new one, then set the status in cache and reset the status with the stored cached status when leaving a meeting.

Btw, what a great extension 😱 💪🏻 Thanks for it!

Button "Generate Slack API key" doesn't work

Hi. Please help me. The button "Generate Slack API key" doesn't work.

Option to deactivate the slack API key right within the extension

Currently, the only way to deactivate the key is by clicking the link in the email sent by slack, during installation.

• Low trust and concern about deactivating the key, if compromised
• There is no info within the extension about the key and its security
• Nudge on where to find help is needed, when the extension scales

Status cleared when sharing screen

Hello again!

I have an issue when I start my screen share.
The status is cleared, but the listeners seem to be still active.

Here are the worker logs when I start the screen share:

Successfully intercepted network request. Clearing slack status
background.js:70 Removing meeting exit listener
background.js:144 Fetch finished loading: POST "https://slack.com/api/users.profile.set".
(anonymous) @ background.js:144
background.js:146 Slack status altered
background.js:19 Registering query tabs listener
background.js:22 Registering meeting exit listener

When I start a screen share, there is a request to https://meet.google.com/$rpc/google.rtc.meetings.v1.MeetingDeviceService/CreateMeetingDevice, I think if you add this to the join listener URLs filter, it should remove the Slack status, but will put it back just after.
It's not the best solution, but I can't find the network call that triggers the exit listener.

Thanks!

Some emojis in the emoji picker are not working

Some emojis in the emoji picker are not supported in slack. Check which emojis are not working and remove them.

Example: 😶‍🌫️ is not working
