Introduction:

Automeet is all about automating the process of logging in and out when attending a Meeting on Google Meet platform with a single run.

Code by: Pavana Narayana Bhat

PreRequisites:

• Windows Operating system.
• Brave / Chrome (v90.0).
• A Google Account.
• Stable Internet connection.
• It is RECOMMENDED to TURN ON LESS SECURE APP ACCESS in Security Settings which comes under Google Settings in order to avoid being detected and blocked on trying more than thrice(3 times).

Usage:

• Once the PreRequisites is satisfied, Download the executable from the releases section.
• Run the Automeet.exe.
• Enter your Google Account Login Credentials that you use to join your meet meetings. Automeet takes care of the rest.

Things to keep in mind:

• Please make sure that the Google Meet meetings are scheduled on your Google Calendar and the timings doesnot overlap with each other(like 2 meetings at the same time or whatever).
• Do note that the Password that you enter will show you nothing.
• If you ever get "Couldn't sign in you in, and blah blah blah", Try clearing the temp directory by pressing "WINDOWS_BUTTON + R" and type "%temp%" and select all by pressing "Ctrl + A", click "SHIFT+DELETE", and "OK" or if you try to login 3+ times in a day, Google have a habit of Blocking you from logging in for 24+ hours.(You know, Just Google things! If anything goes against Google's will, Block!!!).
• Blame/Curse Google every single day, every single minute.

FAQ:

Q: Why Automeet is SLOW at Start up?
A: It is a standalone executable file that contains all the required files to run the Automeet. As the executable creates a temporary folder to extract the files that are requierd by the Automeet to run during the Start up, it takes around 2 - 5 seconds at Max!

Q: How EXECUTABLES are made?
A: .exe has been created using pyinstaller.

Q: How login process works?any references?
A: Login works by redirecting Google Login to stackoverflow page using "DN" user-agent which is outdated and I believe that Google doesn't block that. Visit below given links for reference:

Feature updates(will be added - If Online meetings continues to be conducted everywhere):

• Make the UI interactable by replacing CLI with GUI.
• Add option for placing Meet links along with the Calendar scheduled links in meet homepage with the help of GUI.(Major update)
