BetterMeet Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 22, 2026

BetterMeet is a browser extension that adds per-participant volume, “mute for me” and a full screen view for screen shares to Google Meet. This policy explains what the extension handles and what it does with it.

The short version

BetterMeet has no servers, no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. Nothing it handles is sent anywhere. Everything stays in your browser, on your device.

What is stored on your device

BetterMeet uses the browser’s local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) to keep:

• Participant display names with the volume you chose for them, so the same people sound right in your next call. Up to 100 names are kept.
• The list of participants you muted for yourself.
• Your settings: which features are turned on, and whether you have seen the welcome and onboarding screens.
• The last self-test result, a technical report about how Meet delivered audio in your call, shown in the popup.

This data is never transmitted to the developer or to any third party. You can review and forget saved volumes from the extension popup, and uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.

What happens during a call

BetterMeet runs only on meet.google.com. To change the volume of each person, it processes the call’s incoming audio inside your browser, in real time. Audio and video are never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. The extension reads participant names from the Meet page only to match voices to people and to restore your saved volumes.

What is not collected

BetterMeet does not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal information, including your name, email address, contacts, messages, meeting content, browsing history, location or usage statistics.

Self-test report

The popup can copy the self-test report to your clipboard so you can send it with a bug report. It only leaves your device if you paste and send it yourself. The report describes the call’s audio setup and does not include audio or meeting content.

Permissions

• storage: saves the settings and volumes listed above on your device.
• Access to meet.google.com: required to show the volume controls inside the call and adjust the audio you hear. No other website is accessed.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date above.
