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
