Chrome Version 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) (x86_64)

Any solutions to this yet?

airiggs commented

I am having this same problem. I second Mojorisin's statement - has anyone found a solution, or know if there will be an update?

IBZ2 commented

Happens to me also

Jkarhani commented

Yes, it seems that google stopped it by updating itself..we should ask google to enable it back.. Please let us all complain.

hrlybarger commented

Still haven't found a good solution - but I reported to google to update their tile version to make it more like this extension, maybe if they hear it enough they'll change.

From the Grid View (Fix) GitHub page:

UPDATE 02/11/2021:
It turns out that Google is testing an update of Meet that disables the Grid View extension. This is why sometimes it works and sometimes not (you see the boxes in a vertical bar). If you seriously need Grid View right now, you might consider refreshing a few times the browser tab (you should end up loading the old compatible version at a certain point).
I am really sorry but I have to temporarily remove the extension from Chrome Web Store. In fact, updating Grid View would require a huge amount of work or may not be feasible at all. Please, remember that Google Meet introduced native grid view (up to 49 tiles).

@ashokpjacob thank you so much! Using it this morning, works great! It still won't resize when chat is showing, but I'll take it this is much easier to present with than the google meet built in tiles! Sharing with my colleagues!

hrlybarger commented

@ashokpjacob also for some reason it's limiting tiles to 13 in grid just an fyi :)

This extension a temporary fix :-

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/meet-view-all/ncdkpefkincbindoojieajcilimcjaae

To make it work:

  1. Ensure that no other grid extensions are active.
  2. Change layout to Tiled View.
  3. Adjust the slider to Maximum number of videos (49)
  4. Set Zoom level of Browser to 75% (use the Ctrl key and “-”)

This Works even when you present the screen

hrlybarger commented

the 75% works much better! makes the chat smaller but it's ok for my class sizes - good "life hack" tho to tell colleagues. thanks!
