Manhattan College Installed "Grid View" Extension Has Been Removed

You may have noticed that your Grid View extension disappeared today in Google Meets. Due to a large number of known issues with Grid View, we have removed the extension where it was installed by us. If you installed it yourself it should remain. If you do not wish to continue to use it, please reference these instructions for how to remote the Grid View extension. If you wish to continue to use it, you are welcome to do so, provided it works well for you. If it was removed and you wish to install it, follow these instructions to install Grid View.


The Tile View in Google Meet will be expanding from viewing 16 people at once to viewing up to 46 people at once in the coming weeks.

Update to Tiled View in Google Meet

Be on the lookout for an updated version of Tiled View in Google Meet! 

Google has announced that they are releasing an improvement to the Tiled View on Google Meet. The improvement will allow users to see other attendees even when someone else is presenting. For more information about this update please visit this link.  

For additional information about the different views and how they work please reference our knowledge base article. 

GridView Issue Update

ITS has been monitoring the Google Meet GridView extension problem. At this point we have identified the main problem being that some users have more than one GridView extension installed. Please reference these instructions for how to remove the second extension.


This double extension can be caused if you are using different gmail accounts. ITS recommends that you use Chrome profiles to prevent this from happening. Chrome profiles help to keep all of your different gmail accounts and apps separate. For more information about managing profiles please refer to the below links.

Users have also reported having issues viewing all the participants of a meeting during the meet. This could be because the GridView has many different viewing settings and needs to be tailored to the users viewing needs. For more information about the viewing features of the GridView check out this article.

Google Meet Grid View Issue

ITS has been made aware that some users are experiencing issues when using the GridView extension.


If you are experiencing an issue, we recommend that you use Google Meet’s native tile view. This is only temporary until the issue has been resolved by the developer.

ITS is monitoring the problem and will communicate any additional information that we receive.
