Developer tools, such as Chrome DevTools
help Google Meet add-on developers debug and test an
add-on in Google Meet.
DevTools API
You can interact with the Meet add-on DevTools by
navigating to the console in Meet and entering
devtools.meet.addons.
This provides you with methods that you can use.
devtools.meet.addons.suppressHeartbeatTimeout
By default, heart-beating is enforced for an add-on.
However, while debugging you may want to suppress heart-beating so that the
Meet add-on doesn't keep timing out.
To do this, call the DevTools method suppressHeartbeatTimeout:
devtools.meet.addons.suppressHeartbeatTimeout();
devtools.meet.addons.setHeartbeatTimeout
Every page should instantiate a Meet add-on session
and complete navigation within 10 seconds. If you would like to modify this
timeout while testing you can set it here:
devtools.meet.addons.setHeartbeatTimeout(100);// Timeout in milliseconds.
devtools.meet.addons.resetHeartbeatTimeout
To reset any changes made to heart-beating in the same session you can use the
reset method:
devtools.meet.addons.resetHeartbeatTimeout();
devtools.meet.addons.setDarkMode
If you want to test how your add-ons look with their dark-mode
icon, you can set dark-mode for Meet with this method:
devtools.meet.addons.setDarkMode(true);
To set it back to normal in the same session, set it back to false:
