google meet bot 🤖

A simple Google meet bot so the bot can attend classes for you.

REQUIREMENTS

  $ pip3 install selenium
  $ pip3 install pause
  $ pip3 install pynput

I encourage you to work on a virtual enviornment like anaconda

My Test Cases

• Firstly I work with with the selenium chrome-driver and uses chromium as the interface = WORKS
• Secondly I tested on a headless chrome = BUG
• Mozilla headless driver works fine in mozilla firefox = WORKS

Advantages of headless drivers?

The program runs in background until you have a good internet connection and power . It never requires mozilla tab to be opened . I really worked on chrome-headless but some bugs reported while running so i switched into the mozilla-headless it works cool .

CODES

• chromium.py
• mozilla.py

Working of chromium.py

• You can uncomment the pause.until in the chromium.py ie you can set the time and execute when to start the program

• Replace the usernameStr and passwordStr with your gmailid and password

• Replace the url meet with the meeting id

• There are certain permissions to use our media by google meet i just blocked it all (micrphone and webcam) and set to a default value of 2(block) and 1(unblock)

*In the last line before pause if you are a student in an organization replace the 'ask to join' with 'Join now'

note please: i tested on a chromium browser

Working of mozilla.py

• The cool headless functionality i implemeted her and it works pretty well there are more options like --disable gpu

• You want to install geckodriver before executing

   # conda install -c conda-forge geckodriver
  

• The headless option makes the program to run in background .even if the program terminated we will be the particpants in the meeting

• The permission parameters are little different than in chrome-driver

How to run the program effectively?

• If you deploy it in a cloud then the fun begins you dont have to bother about the internet ,time and other stuffs .

• If more than one meeting id or classes just use the sys arguments or argparse and pass the id as parameters 😀 cool

• Some helpfull link how to deploy a headless chrome in goole cloud platform i found in internet?

https://dev.to/googlecloud/using-headless-chrome-with-cloud-run-3fdp

• if you search for mozilla deploy you can find it too

• you can also deploy in heroku too

HOW TO FIRE THE SCRIPT?
