Minor updates to the Chrome Extension for Google Meet:

I am delighted to announce that MuteDeck v1.5 now supports the Microsoft Teams Third-Party API! What is it, you might ask? I'm glad you asked!

The newest version of Teams has a direct communication channel with third-party apps such as MuteDeck. Thus, rather than scanning the Teams interface, MuteDeck can directly inquire about Teams' status and manage it.

This means:

The new actions are:

MuteDeck's API (and built-in specifications for developers) has already incorporated these new features. The Stream Deck, Loupedeck, and TouchPortal plugins will follow soon!

I have also corrected a glitch in which Webex was wrongly shown as disabled when it was turned on in the settings.

You might need to install an update twice. This is part of optimising the updater, so it can go smoothly in the future.

: Version 1.4.3 includes a major improvement for speed and reliability, which involves checking only the necessary applications. This fixes sluggishness in apps that were added later (Webex, Teams).

Zoom and Teams will be enabled by default, but if you use other apps, you can enable them in the settings under the new section called "Application Sync":

The first time you launch v1.4.3, it'll open the settings dock automatically and call attention to the settings.

But wait, there's more!

You can now purchase one-time licenses for Mutedeck, which provides access to the software indefinitely without the need for recurring payments.

In addition, I've also added activation management features to the website, making it easier to manage your licenses and track their usage.

The software has been updated to support perpetual licenses as well and now includes the ability to deactivate licenses if necessary.

In this update, I've added OpenAPI specifications and an embedded Swagger UI for API testing, so you can easily create automation against MuteDeck with anything that supports the OpenAPI standard. You can also test your APIs from within the MuteDeck software using the Swagger UI - no more messing around with external tools. This is a big time-saver, making it a lot easier to get started with the MuteDeck API.

🎉

I'm delighted to announce official support for Microsoft Teams for Windows and macOS! Microsoft didn't make it easy, but it's finally here. Support for all the actions (mute, video, recording, sharing, and leaving meetings) is present. Only English is supported for now, with more languages coming in a future MuteDeck version.

You might notice your video toggling twice quickly when you start a new Teams call on Windows. That's necessary before MuteDeck can see the meeting controls. If you've changed the shortcut to toggle video, you need to let MuteDeck know (check #3).

It's good to get confirmation on whether things work. So, whenever you perform an action on the Stream Deck, Loupedeck, or via the API, MuteDeck will confirm the action on your computer. In the middle of your screen, a transparent, non-disruptive notification showing what you just did will pop up for a second.

You can turn this off by unchecking the option.

At popular request, you can now adjust the size of the buttons on MuteDeck. Changing the size will also automatically resize the window, so you can pick the size that fits best on your computer.

Check out the option in the settings.

The latest version of Zoom has a change that makes MuteDeck forget there's a Zoom call whenever you start sharing your screen. v1.3 takes that Zoom change into account and recognizes the call again.

MuteDeck supports an extensive list of languages for Zoom and English for Teams, Webex, and Google Meet. The section of the settings now warns you whenever there's an unsupported language configured.

If you're like me, you switch between Zoom, Teams, or Webex constantly - depending on who you're meeting with. MuteDeck now handles this properly.

If you come off a Zoom call and move into a Teams call, MuteDeck will continue to offer you control.

Fix Webex call detection (broken since 1.2 ☹️).

: Added support for Zoom's 'Use system language' option, detect the system language and adjust accordingly.

MuteDeck now supports Zoom in all 16 available languages! People worldwide can now use Zoom in their native language and master their meetings using MuteDeck.

A new section called Status in the settings dropdown will tell you which language is active. As Zoom adds more language support, MuteDeck will follow.
