This page describes how to create the side panel and main stage pages to show the Meet Add-ons for Web. This lets you manage the activities or tasks where other participants can collaborate within Google Meet.
The Google Meet Add-ons SDK is available as a
JavaScript bundle from gstatic, a domain that serves static content.
To use the Meet Add-ons SDK, add the following script tag to your app:
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/meetjs/addons/0.1.0/meet.addons.js"></script>
Meet Add-ons SDK functionality is available under window.meet.addon.
To view the reference documentation, see the Resource
summary.
Create a side panel page
The side panel displays the currently installed add-ons that you can select and use. To instantiate the side panel, you can use the client object MeetSidePanelClient:
const session = await window.meet.addon.createAddonSession({
cloudProjectNumber: "CLOUD_PROJECT_NUMBER",
});
const sidePanelClient = await session.getSidePanelClient();
Below is a code snippet that shows an example of a side panel page, which includes loading and unloading the main stage:
<html style="width: 100%; height: 100%">
<head>
<title>Side Panel Add-on</title>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/meetjs/addons/latest/meet.addons.js"></script>
</head>
<body style="width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0">
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; height: 100%">
<h1>Side Panel Add-on</h1>
<div>
<div>
<button id="set-collaboration-starting-state">
setCollaborationStartingState
</button>
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" id="sidePanelIframeUrl" style="margin-left: 20px"
value="https://your_side_panel_iframe.url" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" id="mainStageIframeUrl" style="margin-left: 20px"
value="https://your_main_stage_iframe.url" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" id="additionalData" style="margin-left: 20px" value="additional data" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
let sidePanelClient;
async function init() {
const session = await window.meet.addon.createAddonSession({
cloudProjectNumber: "CLOUD_PROJECT_NUMBER",
});
console.log("Successfully constructed the add-on session.");
sidePanelClient = await session.createSidePanelClient();
console.log("Successfully constructed side panel client.");
document
.getElementById('set-collaboration-starting-state')
.addEventListener(
'click', async () => {
const sidePanelIframeUrlInputElement =
document.getElementById('sidePanelIframeUrl');
const mainStageIframeUrlInputElement =
document.getElementById('mainStageIframeUrl');
const additionalDataInputElement =
document.getElementById('additionalData');
await sidePanelClient.setCollaborationStartingState({
sidePanelUrl: sidePanelIframeUrlInputElement.value,
mainStageUrl: mainStageIframeUrlInputElement.value,
additionalData: additionalDataInputElement.value,
});
});
}
document.body.onload = () => {
init();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
Create a main stage page
The main stage is the area that lets you display the content of the selected add-on. After creating the side panel page, you can use the client object MeetMainStageClient to instantiate the main stage:
const session = await window.meet.addon.createAddonSession({
cloudProjectNumber: "CLOUD_PROJECT_NUMBER",
});
const mainStageClient = await session.createMainStageClient();
Proceed to create a main stage page to use the Meet Add-ons for Web. The code snippet below is an example of a main stage, which includes loading and unloading the side panel page:
<html style="width: 100%; height: 100%">
<head>
<title>Main Stage Add On</title>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/meetjs/addons/latest/meet.addons.js"></script>
</head>
<body style="width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; background: white;">
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; height: 100%">
<h1>Main Stage Add-on</h1>
<div>
<div>
<button id="get-collaboration-starting-state">
getCollaborationStartingState
</button>
</div>
<div id="receivedCollaborationStartingState"
style="margin-left: 20px; width: 300px; overflow-wrap: anywhere"></div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
let mainStageClient;
async function init() {
const session = await window.meet.addon.createAddonSession({
cloudProjectNumber: "502196118369",
});
console.log("Successfully constructed the add-on session.");
const mainStageClient = await session.createMainStageClient();
console.log("Successfully constructed main stage client.");
document
.getElementById('get-collaboration-starting-state')
.addEventListener(
'click', async () => {
document.getElementById(
'receivedCollaborationStartingState').textContent =
JSON.stringify(
await mainStageClient.getCollaborationStartingState());
});
}
document.body.onload = () => {
init();
};
</script>
</body>
