Grid View Version 1.37 and Sidebar Layout

This morning a new version of the Grid View extension was released.  The latest version is 1.37.  Please make sure:

• Your computer's operating system is fully updated.  
• Your Chrome browser is fully updated
• Your Grid View extension is at 1.37

Before turning on Grid View, make sure that you first change the native Google Meet layout to "Sidebar".  These instructions show how to do this.

If you are still experiencing issues, please email its@manhattan.edu to report the issue.

GridView Extension Broken

Update:
At 11:00 AM the ITS team performed a test of the GridView extension version 1.36 that was released this morning.  While the issue with showing attendees in a single column has been fixed, unfortunately we found that it has a new issue.  Once the meeting hits 16 attendees, the browser crashes.  We recommend NOT using GridView until this issue is resolved.  In the meantime please use the Google Meet Native Layouts.  This Knowledge Base Article explains how to use the Google Meet Native Layouts.


Original Post:
ITS is aware that an update to Google Meet has broken the GridView Extension.  A new version was released this morning that ITS will be testing this morning.  We will notify the community of our findings.

New Version of Chrome Grid View

A new version of the GridView extension for Google Meet has been released.

This is because Google has released a new version of the GridView which can be downloaded from here.

You will need to select “Add to Chrome” and then a window will appear asking your permission to add the extension, select “Add extension”.
