Mic volume alert for Google Meet & Microsoft Teams. Get a gentle reminder when you're speaking too loudly. 100% local & private. Mic volume alert and microphone monitor for Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. QuietCue gives you a gentle visual reminder when you're speaking too loudly during video calls — so you'll know if you're getting too loud on calls, even before someone tells you. For people who care about the people around them. Whether you work in an open office, share a wall with a flatmate, take calls from a coffee shop, or have a partner trying to focus in the next room — QuietCue helps you stay mindful of your speaking volume during Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls. It's easy to get carried away on a Meet or Teams call. You're focused on the conversation, not on the people nearby — and headsets make it especially hard to tell when your microphone is picking up a louder voice than you realize. QuietCue is a gentle, ambient reminder — not an alarm — that helps you keep your voice at a level that respects everyone around you. How it works: QuietCue adds a small floating panel to your call page. Set a comfortable volume threshold using the slider, and that's it. If your voice rises above that level, the screen turns red as a soft visual cue — easy to notice out of the corner of your eye, but never blocking your call. The moment you bring your volume back down, the cue fades away. If you switch to another tab during the call, you'll still get a quiet nudge: the extension icon shows a red badge and the call tab title updates with a warning prefix. Why people use QuietCue: • Open-plan offices and coworking spaces • Working from home with family, flatmates, or neighbors nearby • Shared workspaces and hot-desks • Coffee shops, libraries, and quiet public spaces • Anyone who wants to be a more considerate colleague Features: • Real-time microphone volume monitoring (Web Audio API) • Adjustable threshold slider (-60 dB to 0 dB) • Gentle full-screen red cue with click-through (never blocks your call) • Cross-tab alerts: extension badge + tab title nudge when on another tab • Live volume meter so you can find your right threshold • One-click ON/OFF toggle • Collapsible panel that remembers its state • Works on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams (browser) • Settings sync across your Chrome devices Privacy First: • All audio processing happens 100% locally in your browser • No audio is ever recorded, stored, or transmitted • No analytics, telemetry, or tracking • No server-side component • Minimal permissions: only mic access + call page access + local storage How to Use: 1.

QuietCue isn't about being quiet — it's about being considerate. A small nudge so the people around you can keep doing their thing.
