Quietcue — Mic Volume Ale

Noise Monitor helps you stay aware of your speaking volume during video calls on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.

Once installed, the extension adds a small floating control panel to your call page. Use the slider to set a volume threshold (in decibels). When your voice exceeds that threshold, the screen turns red and shows a warning — giving you instant feedback to lower your voice.

If you switch to another tab, you'll still be alerted: the extension icon shows a red badge and the call tab title updates with a warning prefix, so you always know when you're too loud.

**Key Features:**
- Real-time microphone volume monitoring using the Web Audio API
- Adjustable volume threshold slider (-60 dB to 0 dB)
- Full-screen red overlay warning with click-through (doesn't block your call)
- Cross-tab alerts: extension badge + tab title warning when you're on another tab
- Live volume meter bar showing your current mic level
- One-click ON/OFF toggle
- Collapsible control panel that remembers its state
- Works on both 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. Open a Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call in your browser
2. Allow microphone access when prompted
3. Adjust the Volume Threshold slider to your comfort level
4. Speak normally — if you get too loud, you'll see a red warning
5. The panel remembers your settings, so you only need to configure once

**Tips:**
- Move the slider left (more negative) for a less sensitive trigger
- Move the slider right (closer to 0) for a more sensitive trigger
- Default threshold is -23 dB, suitable for most headset microphones
- Click the minimize button to collapse the panel during calls

Perfect for open offices, shared workspaces, recording sessions, or anyone who wants to be mindful of their volume on calls.
